> A common bias amongst Westerners who have never visited China

I meant this sentence in direct reference to what happened with solar panel productions (because scaling and dumping in an extremely short timeframe was what happened and broke the neck of European solar).

I know that China has a massive ecosystem of invention (evidenced e.g. by the "gongkai" reports by Andrew Huang), I didn't want to laugh that down - sorry if it came across that way.
