Not superior. Just cheap because they did not have to pay for the R&D. They just stole the technology from other countries.

Nah, US manufacturers gave them the technology in exchange for cheap labor.

At the very least, gave them access to the technology

They are already superior in some techs like 5G, IA, biotechs and quantum computing.

People are coping if they think most of their technology is still just a 'copy' of american technology when even the US have not discovered it yet.

EDIT : Downvoting because it goes against your preconceived narrative won't change the facts btw.

The metrics cited, namely spending and number of papers submitted, do not necessarily mean they are "superior".. it means they are spending more and have more researchers working on it.

Quantity is not the same as quality.

Except it's not just number of research papers, but also the most cited papers through international systematic reviews or academic journals which is a good metric for quality.

From the top of that article.. "Other methods to gauge scientific prowess still put the United States somewhat ahead"

This does not imply your original statement of Chinese research superiority.

Right... That must be why Huawei led the world in 5G. The Chinese time traveled to steal the tech from future Americans.

After all, we all know that the Chinese aren't great at math engineering or tech.
