By now, such things are so prevalent that I don't think it would even make the news anywhere.

Because without bigger players, Chinese models don't get anywhere. Playing catch-up is a radically different game.

Because the hegemony-ensuring machine will most certainly have "prevent others from competing for hegemony" as one of the basic tenets.

Suing is absurd as it would get nowhere, since this is China we are talking about. Now, preventing making business in the US based on those products? At this point it's hard to arg…
