you know very little about how China buys influence in east Asia, they have the money to buy every level of government there and in other Asian countries like the Philippines. all of which is funded by Americans/Amazon who want to buy cheap goods rather than Made in USA

do you know why central Italy had the first Wuhan flu outbreak? it's because italians are a great culture but complete shit at running a functional gov't. so b/c of this China bought every level of gov't there, so that they can have a factory in Italy but then they ship in hundreds of Chinese workers so that the goods can say Made in Italy but performed by cheaper chinese hands.

so you should look into how the Prez of SK has made a lot of efforts to transfer Korean IP to the IP thieves in China. I would mention China's "achievement" of 7nm semiconductor manufacturing through SMIC which is clearly based on Samsung tech but that's probably a few levels above most of the posters here
