To be fair, when it is good people copy anyway. All companies do benchmarks and analysis of competitors. The criticism of china was that you sent them a thing go produce and your design would appear somewhere else which could essentially bankrupt you business.
That said, I have the impression this still exists but is less and less relevant for them to keep doing it.
China is the one saying nations should gather and stop doing poo-poo decisions to economy while another one keeps saying that everyone else but them is evil.
I honestly think this scarcity and shortages are all artificial and caused by the same group of people. They don't even fake anymore

Now you don't need to send them the design, a LLM can reproduce it from photos :)
