The Chinese didn't get to their current position via chip superiority. They got there by being a low cost producer of a whole pile of other things. Clearly chip superiority wasn't everything to them.
In fact also by definition most countries don't have chip superiority. Not the UK (home of ARM), not Japan, not Germany, not Canada, not Australia (who happens to be a medical powerhouse). Yet they all have dynamic successful economies.
It's a big world out there. Being master of one trade doesn't make you the master of them all.
- 0xy 6y agoChina has always had access to state of the art chips though, as has the UK, Japan, Germany etc. When I say chip superiority, I'm implying China will move to starve the US of modern chip fab capacity. That's huge. The US needs them for military, intelligence and productivity purposes.
