They are wrong, China isn’t waiting to catch up to the leading edge, they ARE the leading-edge. The things that Chinese student robotics teams are able to come to international competition with is genuinely crazy, with the amount of programming that is required. If there is any gap it is the technology waiting to catch up to their expertise.
Not only that but China is really the only country that does genuine quality control outside of their automotive industry because they are willing to completely redesign their factories and processes around it.
It is crazy to me that people still genuinely underestimate China.
People genuinely believe that the US is perpetually 30 years ahead of its competitors as a rule of thumb. They do not even have the capacity to understand how amazing Chinas rise is.
