Does China lack innovation?

Why is China currently not an innovation star? The answer is simple. At the current stage, it is far more cost effective for China to just copy/imitate than to innovate. Do you think it makes sense for a junior engineer to attempt a breakthrough in computer chip designs before he's learned the basics? Innovation will come in due time, China is simply not ready for it yet. To blame this on culture or education is simply stupid. China had been immensely innovative in the past, more far so than the West. It may or may not be able to innovate in the future. Only time will tell.
