Correction, I didn't just mean chips made in the US but also chips that license US technology. This was the reason ARM, a British company had to suspend their relationship with HiSilicon, Huawei's chip manufacturer. [0]

- lumost 7y agoThere's no guarantee that the chinese government would respect US copyright and patent law in a split up. It's just as likely the payments to US firms would end, and manufacture would continue.
- Canada 7y agoIf China takes that action the US can cancel China's bonds. I don't think either side wants to take such drastic action though.
- sgift 7y agoIf the US cancels Chinas bonds the US looses any trust, i.e. everyone has to assume that their bonds are worthless. No sane person/company would lend the US money in that scenario.
- Canada 7y agoAnd if China nationalizes US technology nobody will trust it either. No sane company would invest there in that scenario. I think whoever takes drastic action first would lose trust of third parties. Anyway, I don't think it's going to go that far, too much collateral damage.
