It wasn't just their willingness to educate their own people but also Apple's willingness to offload all of their production there and basically revolutionize their Tech industry by developing all of their hardware there

    Apple’s willingness to offload all of their production there and basically revolutionize their Tech industry

    Taiwan's FoxConn building assembly plants in Shenzhen in 2005 does not explain why Huawei is releasing cutting edge phones in 2025.

    Besides, if you want to get historical, Apple cribbed all their technology from Microsoft's trash bin back in the 90s. And Microsoft plundered IBM and the early tech companies of the 1980s before that.

    Chinese firms didn't cheat by licensing the same technology every American firm was outright stealing through reverse engineering.
