I am also a fan of giving credit where it is due, and not giving it where it is not due. China is not an innovator. Perhaps they are only beginning to be, but historically, this is simply not the case, and yet distillation still falls squarely under "not innovating".

I wish people knew more history before using the term “historically”

The Chinese civilisation has been one of the most long living ones with plenty of “innovation” throughout history, both long ago and recently.

Long ago, OK.

Recently, maybe. I see a lot more copycat behavior however.
