Sorry but China can't invent they can only steal which is proven with the military technology they try to steal and replicate from our government/defense contractors.
As you can tell I am not a big fan of China to the verge of pretty much hating their government.
If I ever end of making a robotics business or something along those lines I will never work with the chinese.

Plus the technology they try to steal from us and replicate usually doesnt work

Plus the chinese have tooken American companies and their inventions and pretty much gave them to some chinese companie to benefit their economy.

Also the way the treat their people over there

That's true, but patents can protect from theft by others in the country and can be coordinated in European countries as well. Not having a patent may let anyone, Chinese or other Americans, to use the technology. Keep in mind rockets are ITAR controlled and therefore even if a device is patented it can still be protected from the Chinese or another country attempting to access it.
