It's not so much "cheating" but consider this: China is a communist country (for the most part). The concept of "ownership" doesn't really apply to a lot of things in their culture. Everything is owned "by the people," so the idea of intellectual property doesn't really exist.
If they see something and think they can make a version of it, they do it. It's why even the good factories that make stuff for export have parallel production lines that make the same product with less time invested in quality control for their domestic market. Some of that stuff leaks out as "counterfeit" goods.

Well, until they lied about data encryption on their eufy cameras, and how they kept phoning home even when they were supposed to be offline? Yeah, they blew a lot of trust.

Even the Chinese factories seem to only put out quality products when their foreign clients demand only the highest quality control standards.
Left to their own devices, they seem content shipping really inconsistent stuff. I can’t think of many Chinese-owned brands have made a big impact internationally.

I’m not saying the people aren’t bright or hardworking. Not in the least.
But India does not have a strong history or global impact in manufacturing hard goods, not in the way China has.
The “hustle” in India seems to have a different set of motivations compared to the Chinese work ethic. It might come down to the individualistic ethic vs. the collective.

This is not surprising, given the very different work cultures between the two countries.

On the one hand, this is a really important development.
On the other hand, screw Bezos.

I’m surprised it’s just a software issue. Most Teslas I’ve seen have condensation inside at least one of the light units.

That’s cute and very science-y, but 99% of consumers are going to think their phone has a band-aid inside it.
