There's a difference between "some people try to commit fraud" and "China is inflating its numbers to look innovative when it's actually not".
Of course some people commit fraud. Of course, some people actually do try to take government money and run with it.
The former is basically true in every single country no matter where you look. The latter is actually the conspiracy theory that China isn't innovative because "1.4 million patents are all universally bullshit" or something to that extent.
That's my 2c
Yeah and no one here said the latter, so glad you cleared that up
