I think people here are underestimating the degree to which many designers are trained to replicate and mimic. just think about the ability to design something "on brand". it is formulaic and can be repeated elsewhere.
also people underestimate the degree to which countries like China are investing in design. There are now tens of thousands of design graduates being produced by Chinese universities every year.
Yes, many of the graduate they are producing are behind in terms of strategic skills, user-centric design methods (e.g. applied anthropology) and brand development but they are not far off.
And the fact that only a handful of US design school are producing graduates of this calibre should be of concern.
you need a national design policy, like, yesterday doooood.
