If this truly comes to fruition, it would be a prime mover in displacing Chinese global hegemony and stave off its bullish nature. China maintains economic well being by donating the chip market and also the supply chains. The Quad has emerged to dislocate Chinese tyranny in the Indo-Pacific, and US chip takeover will be one of the last strokes in China’s downfall.

This crosses into nationalistic flamewar. We don't want that on HN, regardless of $nation. It leads to predictable, nasty discussion that kills the curious conversation which this site is supposed to be for. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  The demand to always be curious and never angry is itself a limitation on the natural unfolding of curiosity. Sometimes the most interesting questions can only be asked by people who are aware of their own anger and the mutual anger of others around them.

    I might question that a bit, but it's an empirical question that one could talk about. I don't think we've ever asked people not to get angry, though - that would be not to be human. The request is to not allow it to drive one into internet comments in a predictable way. That's also a lot to ask, but at least it's doable. Can anger lead one to explore and learn things that wouldn't have happened without the anger? Sure it can, and comments coming from that place are more likely to be on topic here. But that's already a later stage of a pretty complex process. I'm talking about the split-second moment that we all experience when a flash of anger first arises, where we're reacting adversely to something we've heard before and are propelled to respond immediately with something we've said before. A lot of internet comments, including HN comments, are generated in that state, and they aren't distinguished by curiosity.
