The copying years are long gone, now they pay the same companies everyone does and use that knowledge more efficiently.
They hire western engineering companies exactly the same way as western companies do, but they do it more often. On top of that, they do not negotiate the prices and requirements so much, so it is way easier to work with them in that sense.
It is only logical they learn and get better over time.
I work in automotive engineering services for most of the globe, and the paradigm has shifted. Asia is clearly winning the race.
