Another overgeneralization.
Open up your computer and take a look at the heart of it - the motherboard.
Who designs and builds them?
AMD, Intel?
Nvidia, Intel, ATI develop and manufacture just the chipsets. The motherboard layout, design, and feature implementation and integration is done by the Taiwanese manufacturers.
BTW, the Nvidia founder and CEO is a Taiwanese immigrant.
Back to your original statement:

try to buy car and oil or even kitchen knife made in China…it not because it’s was made in China, but because they have week engineering stuff, no quality research in metallurgy, chemical and electronic technology, they cheap and save on everything even telephone wires, almost none existing quality control.
You're about half a century out of date.
The Chinese are seriously considering sending men to Moon. They've got all the necessary technologies and industrial capability.
Even more, according to an American National Intelligence Council document, the Chinese GDP will surpass that of the USA somewhere between 2040 and 2045.
