Head and shoulders above the competition.
Although China also has most of the crappy knock-off drone brands that don't get the fundamentals right.
As commenter further up said: " If they don't want that to be the case, someone would need to crack down on the lies and knockoffs."
Even though China can and has done good manufacturing and engineering, I think of crappy knockoffs when I think of Chinese engineering.
Not so much for the Germans or the Swiss.
Given how much power the CCP has, they could rectify this in no time. Much like a corporation, they seem to be focused on short term gains (lots of tiny profits coming from knockoffs and frankly dangerous products which don't comply with laws of buyer's country) rather than medium/long term reputation.
To add to that, the forced data sharing and backdoors CCP forces companies to install just means they're eroding international trust in Chinese companies at the expense of long term reputation.
I feel bad for any actual Chinese engineering companies because they will have that reputation no matter what as long as they are China HQ'd.
