Well ask me that again after the EU passes the Digital Fairness Act next year and makes the "ICE" engine tech line obsolete and forces everyone to use EV tech.
From what I can tell, the Chinese use whatever tech we give them. If I was willing to transfer my tech to the Chinese in order to make a quick buck, I'd probably have made more money initially and then the Chinese would have all my tech and make me obsolete.
In this scenario it was actually the South Koreans that said they wanted to steal all my tech back in early 2013. So I pulled out of that relationship after giving them a Trojan economic lesson, which they took pictures of. Then deployed to the game ArchAge.
Actually, had an American company try to do that also to me in ~2012. NCSOFT was their publisher and both were under NDA with me. So I had to call NCSOFT's legal department and threaten them. I really didn't want to do that since I've historically had a fantastic relationship with them. But they dumped that American studio pretty fast.
