- China used to be known for cheap knock-offs-imitating products from the West and selling them at a fraction of the price. But fast forward to today, and that image has completely transformed. Watch this video as economist Professor Richard Woff explains how China made a legitimate deal to "copy" Western technology, innovate, and make it better...

This technology transfer deal also exists in other developing countries, not just in China. These deals certainly weren't made at gun points.
The Professor is an insidious CAD
Certainly more honorable than Her Majesty's pirates or East India Company and all the other European Empires.
❤exactly
To be fair, Europe was desperate to get out of the Middle Ages
Richard Wolff is 100 percent correct.
He can't, he is only a expert for media! 😂🚀
wolff is smart and 100% correct!
I would call it borrowed the ideas, like MSR, the US started MSR research but failed and China worked on the idea and succeeded they said. Like hypersonic missiles, US is still working on it but China already has it deployed. Like high-speed rails, you can find it in Japan and some countries in Europe however, China made improvements on it and now China has the fastest high-speed rail and the largest network. The list goes on and on (the thinnest hand torn steels is made by China, 5G and 6G soon, etc etc... 🥳🥳
Prof Wolff is a legend. When he speaks smart people listen while fools dismiss it.
❤well said
A Smart person will change their view if new information contradicts their belief. An indoctrinated person lacks this ability. They're conditioned to dismiss facts.
Yes, Asia and Africa have many poor countries becauce the European countries such Britain,Spain, Netherlands,France etc they colonised these countries and took everything back to their countries for hundred of years leaving nothing.
The pinoys would disagree
I think this is sort of missing the point - what the Chinese did is exactly the same as everyone else. The US industrial base was established based on European designs - sometimes licensed, but more often not. Same deal with the Japanese - the first engine that Toyota made was a pretty exact copy of the stovepipe Chevy engine and Seiko's first "original" design was a copy of a Swiss caliber. It makes sense because if you are trying to establish manufacturing competence then you want designs that you know work because that way you can be sure that any issues you have are from the production process. Once that's sorted, you can start doing iterative refinements then redesigning subsystems and finally completely original designs - this is the trajectory that basically every industrialized nation has followed.
Where the Chinese stand out is how quickly they have mastered all this stuff - compare the cars the Chinese were making 20 years ago (which were, if you are being honest, crap) and the ones they are making now. Look at the way over the same period that Huawei went from making "me too" near copies of Cisco datacomms gear to designing most of the basic architecture of 5G NR and being the world's largest maker of telecoms infrastructure despite frantic efforts from the US to put them out of business.
As someone once said, it's not personal, it's just business.
Everyone copied. Emulation is a big component of catching up.
It’s just the first step of learning.
First you copy, then you understand the mechanics.
Finally you create new moves.
True, China invented printing, brushes & ink for writing,also paper to write on, gun powder technology, invented pasta making techniques and whole lot more which I don't have room for, we the west had taken or copied Chinese technologies & inventions and progressed with it, it's a good thing don't matter who copied who
@@cryptorenegade1406 Chinese great 4 inventions: compass, gunpowder, papermaking and printing.
So now people start to realize the western propaganda of "copying" is just a selfish act that prevent mankind from learning.
😂😂 west is a joke look at the train amtrak in america jumping 😂😂 look at china, america should wake up
They can't wemake up. They are so closed if and intentionally being kept dub by politicians, media, and there iwn school that by the time tgey woke up and travrl to other nations they will look at the world tge same way columbus was baffled by the fact that other civilisation were so humane and peacefully
In Malaysia, KFC n McD, why KFC sells Burger n McD sells Fried Chicken... copy and innovation... typical right?
Ham Burger is originate from Ham bur Germany, French Fries by name it is French, Who is copying?
its not a matter of agreeing with Dr. woff, Its the truth.
Absolutely, because no one has ever accused the Chinese of being smart to begin with, and that's a fact.
Copying screwdrivers, etc. is one thing, but copying airplanes, spaceships, artificial suns, etc. is another. But we can just copy them for high-tech products. It takes greatness to copy top-tier products. That means, China has entered a great era because it can already copy top-tier products.
If it’s so easy, there won’t be any third world countries.
Copy copy copy. Low ÎQ brain still stuck in that stereotype. Go back to the video and watch again.
@demit007 China is not just copying anymore, it is leading the way. For the West to catch up now they will have to copy the Chinese. 🤣
Look up international patent filing changes and their number vs the world. Time changed…😅
It's a shame our leaders are crying 'wolf' (no pun intended) when we should just get off our ass and get on with business. But then, as colonizers, our ancestors are used to stealing, exploiting, pillaging instead of working for it. For centuries, it's been the best and easiest way to do that in the colonies and then go back home rich and famous. And in the US, we're the descendants of colonizers in the New World and it seems that our genetic strain is stronger that our morals even when Jesus is our superhero. To this day, I cannot believe that our ancestors thought it was okay to sell opium to China to pay for what we wanted when we're now bitching and moaning at China for exporting the compounds that lets South America cook the Fentanyl that our people are addicted to. What strange animals we are even if we call ourselves humans.
Professor Wolff is 💯 percent correct 💯💯😊😊 from Malaysia 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Great trade off by China, making new innovations on old formulas!!! 👍👍
Totally agreed. Other countries also did the same. It's technology transfer not stealing. US twisted their words.
Free copycat is exactly the drive to improve things. I copy your product, I improve it a bit to win the market, he copy mine and make a minor improvement on it....after some copycations, the product improve and better.
Who invented paper?
paper, printing, brush & ink, gun powder, pasta making, currency 💵, Street vendorship(a form of entrepreneurship) I can go on but won't
No one wants to reinvent the wheel.
Absolutely true. The american companies were not forced to go to China. They chose to go there to make loads of money.
And now, china has learnt well and used it to their advantage.
Imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery you know.
Yes Prof wolffe is correct
It I Americans politicians playing the dirty game.
Google international patent filing changes in the last 40 years… China vs the world today. Time changed😮
Yes totally agree.
Richard wolf is 1000 % correct.
Wolff is right!
Everyone copies , if you wanna be a master , copy the master .
Southkorea has been making copies for decades
Foundation of wester colonization was gunpowder and navbigation that europeans learned from China and Arabs/Moors in spain. Learning from others is not stealing!
It's human nature to learn and even imitate from each other. Nothing peculiar about it
Why reinvent the wheel?
I am proud to hold out that Singapore is another country that had fueled economic development using this strategy. In fact most of the ASEAN countries do the same. Nothing clandestine not stealing for sure
Absolutely. I have been part of some of these transfers, even though, the exchange in the latter years became less profitable, as the number of machineries they were willing to purchase in exchange for the technology decreased, on the other hand, we were making sure not to transfer the latest available technology.
Totally in agreement, as am also part of it during earlier days of the Great Chinese Opening Up. Remembered the special tax break of "2-year free + 3-year half" corporate income tax for JV companies?
Latest technologies become dinosaurs in a few months, that is how technology works
"By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest,"- Confucius
Copying is a human instinct. That is children learn by copying.
“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it."
“A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song."
“We are not what we know but what we are willing to learn."
“Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure." Confucius
The professor is correct. But China adds more to the deal. They offered cheap land or cheap rent for foreign enterprises to build factories, and they established special economic zones where nice infrastructures such as easy access to deep water ports with efficient logistics to transport the products out via ships. They offered also cheap energy and electricity to facilitate the specific economic zones. All these help foreign enterprises to decide on moving production to China. The fact that Chinese workers are not only well educated, but they are known to be super hard working without forming unions is also a huge factor in considering moving shops to China. Give the Chinese people the credit where credit is due. They earned their success.
Should also add it is "consumer" grade knowledge that is transfer to China. The idea is US keeps leading edge stuff, which does not go to market and should give us the edge. The problem is 100% internal b/c the US STOPPED innovating. The profits to go investors instead of reinvest in R&D -lack of long term foresight.
Throughout history, knowledge (inventions, ideas, etc.) WILL be shared and accessible to others, rather you like it or not.
China not only copy but improved it …
Thanks for post. Interesting viewpoint. Explains why China are nearly out SpaceX-ing SpaceX.
America is behind ware it concerns technology 😂
The real problem is due western manufactures unable to produce highend products lowend price, where China did. I said PRICE not COST.
The legal transfer of tech via JV explained how GM's JV partner built a look-alike clone car for sale in China many years ago.
Going to quote one of my favorite Western movies: “First model walks; second model duplicates, then elaborates.” 😂
Many people have been accusing Stephen Curry of stealing 3-point shooting skills from Reggie Miller and Ray Allen. So what? 😂
師夷之長以制夷。我中華歷史的智慧。
Also, there’s such an element in almost all international trading contracts which is called “knowledge skill transfer”. There’s no secret .
Yes he Right the Chinese are intelligence ❤
You are absolutely right! There's nothing wrong with copying. Japan did it between 60's and 70's. And their products hv been better, so is China.
Stealing is what's on display in the British Museum, learning and knowledge transfer should be done for the benefit of all human beings not just someone who was able to first patent the idea.
Remember japan?? They once labelled as copycat too.
The time has certainly changed for China. Gun powder, compass, paper making, and printing have certainly come a long way accompanied by Western technologies since invention. But, now, the wind is blowing the other direction.
Internationalizing the Chinese model. :)
Very enlightment video❤❤❤
Just one word jealous 😢😢😢
Countries copy from each other. Steam engines,was invented in EnglNd and many others copied it.
Plane from Europe were more advanced IN WWI, US copied and miimcked European planes in th3 1920s and 1930s. Everyone learned and copied from each others.
When you can't compete, just say, "It's stolen/copy."
Nature creates, we humans innovate.
The copycats innovative to win. 👏
Who invented gun powders and papers?
The West or China?
These topics make me laugh.
One more thing. China had no environmental law then. They paid 'the tuition '!!!
In US also have so many poor people nowadays
90% of American items came from the Mighty Dragon, give credit where it is due
They even have special ministry for it.
When talk about technology transfer, give an example of high speed train.
The technologies to make the IGBT, the wheels that can run at the speed of 300kmh and above, the motor, all type of sensors, the signaling system, and operating system the whole train system etc. is not for sell, China can't buy any these technology to make any of those components and parts from Germany, Japan or French. China buy the finish products of these components and parts, a so called technologies transfer packages from corresponding train manufacturing company, which they train the buyer to put all those parts together to make the final finish product, a train. When you hear the term "technology transfer" it means the technology of Assembling.
!I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated
As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market.
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of
information can be a big hurdle. I've been
making more than $100k passively by just
investing through an advisor, and I don't have
to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
finances remain secure. So I really don't blame
people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analyzing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted based on thorough research and years of practical experience.
nice! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier. How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking?
China must have stolen future technology from NASA to travel to the far side of the moon 😂😂😂
Does YOUR country has the ability to imitate and copy at China's level? :)
No they invent and improve
China copied from American and the west to built bridge over mountains spanning 1500m with no pier in between. Can you say that?
It would be stupid if you try to invent what has already been invented and waste time.
Great explanation in economics. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
reply to the title: Ask Apple, they do the same shit as well, just better than others.
Why re-invent the wheel hehehe
People learn by copying,true its a rat race but the science of it is the same for everyone,i mean heck the west copied china's gunpowder recipe and yes made it more potent by playing around with its chemistry,funny ,monks were the ones who discovered the formula through years of experimentation in the quest to find the elixir of immortality.Heck you know what else,man has been copying gods design in nature for centuries.The winged design of airplanes came from the birds.But to set the recordstraight something i learned in my poly years just playing around with terminology,the difference between copying and learning is understanding.
Beter 'Goed Gejat dan Slecht Bedacht' ! Toch !? ( 😋 ) Ha, ..., ha ..., ha .......................
👍🏼🇨🇳
Han Chinese piracy is on another level
NO. CHInA steals some rech via ISarel too. HYUNDAI.
Yes sure. But they can do only for a certain period of time. At some point people will be so full of goods that they will buy on credit again. Then BRICS can't help you either. It's up to you who needs what and you should tame yourself with material things anyway. It's all ballast and doesn't make you happy. Just think about it in these crazy times. Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring!
Idk who serves u propaganda probably west but there growth story only started and what u said is a delusional take I'll suggest break free from western shackles
Bollywood movies told you?
You don't get the whole point , the more you're stronger technologically, the more you can advance your military capabilities, the less you can be bullied or be genocide,
Imagine Palestine is a strong country, the Libya before Gaddafi,
Think man , don't hate someone's achievements
Wise speaking to the wise .no idiots think otherwise...
China copy from Japan and Taiwan, not west. Italy copy noodles and pizza hahahaha
The Professor has never been to China - The Professor does NOT SPEAK CHINESE - However The Professor KNOWS EVERYTHING ANOUT CHINA. - GENERALIZED HOG - WASH. just like his pronunciation about the MUSLIMS WHO DID 9/11 AND HOW THE MUSLIMS CELEBRATED. BUT AFTER THER EVENTS OF 9/11 - IT WAS THE JEWS WHO WERE FILMED CELEBRATING. BUT THESE FACTS ARE BUT STRANGERS TO THE GOOD PROFESSOR - I WONDER WHY ?
