Nah. That’s engineering, copying Western tech.

Orbiting the moon, putting a man in space, ICBMs, nuclear submarines and power plants, amounts to a bit more that “copying Western tech”.

However, it is also quite true that they do hack and steal a great deal of Western technology. But even this takes a level of sophistication.

The same is true about Russia, while there is no question the US and the Western world is the leader in technology, research and innovation, it is not true that China and Russia lack technology of their own.
