For all these examples, they are either pretty much on par with other countries (or slightly ahead), using dumping to kill the competition (PV) or focusing their resources on strategic tech -batteries- (like any authorian regime ever did).
I’m not saying is not saying they are not innovative or a technologic power.
But saying they have brought new tech (that Europeans or Americans had discarded) is not really correct.
Thorium reactors are a clear example of such tech, 5/6g and quantum networks are another. The Europeans and Americans are not able to build anything equivalent. For the other tech I listed, China is far ahead in terms of scale and penetration of deployment. There is a qualitative difference between what China and the west are able to do rooted in China’s massive industrial base and far larger population.
