And lot of Chinese companies also like to copy designs from other 
Chinese companies and sell the (usually inferior) result for less. (And 
this process is recursive, with the products getting cheaper but 
inferior in every iteration) Which is making all the companies who are 
the top of the designing chain more and more paranoid about releasing 
anything to others.
