Lol, dude I have more than got your logic, and it is a big fat lie. Firstly, foreign companies setting up factories in the country count to a very limited extent. Also, when one is talking about manufacturing power, the design and technology FOR that manufacturing is also included.
Then, you want to talk, let's talk.
You first mention iPhone. Let's talk iPhone then. Who manufactures the chip set, and the whole electronics suite? Apple designs its chip, which is fabricated in Taiwan. Memory? Samsung or Hynix usually. Glass? Corning. Screen? Samsung/Sharp.
What Foxconn usually does is to manufacture the body, and then assemble all of this. (And even Foxconn is not exactly a local Mainland Chinese company. It is domiciled on a territory that is not under your control)
Let's talk LNG Ships. The leading and most advanced manufacturers of LNG ships remain the Koreans, and Japanese. Chinese ship building sector has actually lost its order share in the market.
Even for the LNG ships manufactured by China, most of the parts are supplied by foreign companies, some even not made in China. Propulsion is usually supplied by MAN, or Warstila, or Rolls Royce.
Look at all the below articles to find out the list of suppliers:

Essentially many very important components are being imported, or used of foreign suppliers: Propulsion, Electric Systems etc. (If you want I can just keep giving you links, even Chinese sources themselves appreciate the difficulty, and dependence on suppliers.)
Not that there is anything wrong with this, this is the way one grows.
You are talking about Air Bus? This is beyond hilarious. Airbus only has a finishing and maintenance center in China. Most of the core parts are imported. Don't even talk about Aviation Industry, where US and Europe are far ahead. If in any doubt just see the commerical market position of Chinese brands versus Boeing or Airbus. (Even for C 919, a hell lot of components are produced elsewhere.)
I can just go on. I am a training chemical engineer, and in chemical engineering almost all technology is licensed by China.
