We are already well into the process with our ODM, so a Chinese company can't really get it to market faster either.
And because a lot of the solution we have to the latency issue is in software, they can't really duplicate it until we release the device with the software so they can get their hands on it and reverse engineer it. :-)
(And yes, I have already seen attempts at getting access to places where we could have put our source code, luckily nothing I'm not prepared for.)
