They still simply copy. Their J-20 design is just a copy of the front half of an F-22 with the back half of a Su-27. Their Yuan class submarine is an inferior copy of the Kilo class. Their new P-3 equivalent ASW plane is just a copy of a Russian design that was a copy of an American design. The YU-3 torpedo is just a copy of the Mk-46.

All of the copying would be one thing, but they make design changes that actually make the product inferior. They're not improving on any of the designs they copy.

And don't get me started on their industrial espionage where they wholesale steal foreign intellectual property and then marginalize the companies they've stolen from once they've gleaned all they can from them.
