I have dealt with Chinese manufacturing (specifically fabricators) and anecdotally this was 100% my experience. Culturally they are order takers and do not think out of the box.
They've never had a single original design in modern times. All their gear is a mix of copies from Soviet/Russian gear, and western gear, and now they're mixing that stuff. They were licensing some things for awhile (one of their strike aircraft has licensed copies of the RR Spey engines), but a lot of times, they'll just steal designs outright.
McDonnell-Douglas did a deal with the Chinese to produce DC-9/MD8X aircraft in China, on the promise that the Chinese would buy a lot for their airlines.
They bought two.
The deal put MD in trouble, they had to merge with Boeing, and China got the factory and tooling. 10 years later, they started production on their "completely domestically designed" ARJ21 airliner.
MD-8X
ARJ211
If that flew over me, I'd call it an MD right away.
