You judged more than one billion people by anecdotes and ridiculous affirmation..
NO, NO, NO @mahgister. You jumped to that grossly exaggerated assumption and then go completely off the rails adding "anecdotes" and "ridiculous affirmation". Did not say China is incapable of innovation in any field, only high end audio. There are very few true innovators worldwide in audio.
I stated FACT from first hand college experience and discussion with multiple people doing business in China. I will take first hand experience from credible people over studies any day.
You have different FIRST HAND experience to offer not produced by others, let's hear it.
