Well it stinks like Chinese propaganda. That much was blatantly obvious to me. It‘s just not always obvious what part they‘re lying about. So it was the part about it being Chinese in the first place. Not very creative I must say.

    The particular innovation discussed in the article was developed by Chinese engineers. But that doesn't make Na+ batteries "Chinese batteries."

    If all tech was owned by the country where it was developed, there would be a lot more "american this," "american that." Planes, computers, automobiles, nukes, etc.

    Too much of it already is controlled by US patents, though. There needs to be more freedom to invent, develop, and iterate...
