If and when transhumanism becomes a reality is there going to be a way to do it independent of corporations or are the people who opt into it going to be corporate property?

Probably the same as hardware/software now; There will be some opensource stuff available but the cutting edge will be in the hands of corporations

Sure, but the very best of augmentations will be under the purview of the biggest corporation. You might see some group, like a independent colony or a political group, develop and share some technologies but they will lack the expertize that corporations have.

Can you build yourself a highly advanced prosthetic arm from scratch? How are you going to dig through the mountains to mine the ore? Who's going to process those ores? Who's going to process the sands to build 1 nm computer chips that your prosthetic would need?

Protip, corporation is made of group of individuals pursuing a single economic goal. Without economics at play, you get a generic organization. With religious element, you get a religious order. With a local organization, you get a community. There's no evil boogeyman behind corporations. Just as you are working and making money, corporations do the same.

What you really want is to regulate corporations so that they can't claim your body, make backdoor shenanigans or install augs with planned obsolence. This threat will depend on your augmentations though, genetic engineered or other biologically/synotech based augs require no maintenance while cybernetic implants/replacements do and thus are more susceptible to manipulations.

A religious order can make the world a better place, or drink the kool aid and pull a Jonestown massacre. A community can strive to provide to its members and protect them from all threats, or it can ineffectual and hedonistic.

Corporations are no different. And all constituents of modern corporations deserve to be exterminated from this Earth.

I'm getting a degree in medical technology in germany and it doesn't seem that bleak. There is a bunch of smaller firms around here specialising in some sort of thing and keeping up with the big names. Also the technology is extremely susceptible to reverse engineering. The only problem I see is that some materials may get monopolized or be extremely hard/expensive to replicate in small scale.

What I want to know though, are the Chinese ahead of us in that field? Because most of what I read is polarized and feels like blatant propaganda from both sides.

Not really, but their willingness of application and honour-dogging is greater. Western or Korean/Japanese laboratories are far more advanced than chinese one, especially related to experimental technologies. Similar to Iran their science isn't the best as personal connections to the party is far more important than merit. While sometimes the public may hinder experiments here in the west/korra/japan but the politics mostly leave research alone. This is not the case in china.
