Here's a funny tidbit you probably didn't realize since you've been to 21 countries around the world:
Most people in the world have less money, and want more features for that money.
So, by your own observation, these "Chinese" products would become more popular. Once that happens, the current market leaders would get left behind because they'd not be making enough money to spend on R&D in the first place and keep pace.
Others have already pointed out in other industries like mobile, but look in the Computer and Semiconductor industry as well.
What happened to Japan there? How was TSMC (Taiwan) and Samsung (South Korea) able to get such major chunk of market when it was the US (Intel, IBM, AMD / GlobalFoundries) and Japan (which used to be nearly 50% of the world's supply) so far ahead just a couple of decades ago.
You're right that China is good at copying. But the thing is that they are able to sell their copies for less money, meaning more people can eventually afford them and they start to take revenue share from the "originals", and funnel that back into their own R&D.
We're already at the point where the European car makers are relying on the likes of BYD and CATL to supply the tech for their electric platforms when not too long ago, Chinese were simply copying the Europeans.
This has been their model for most industries and they've been very successful at it, and they'd do the same in Pakistan as well.
