My nation already has zero OLED screen manufacturing capacity, the world seems to keep spinning.
China will dump out their OLEDs, I’ll get cheaper OLEDs, my nation will make other things and exchange them for OLEDs. China may come to dominate the OLED market, but OLEDs will be displaced by micro-LEDs.
China will never completely control any particular technology simply because, wealthy as they are, they don’t have the resources to afford such a thing. They may be able to buy their way to market dominance, but there will always be alternative sources. Not least, because of the fact they’re not the only country pursuing a strategy of national champions.
Food security is also a bit of a joke. Well not a joke, a cudgel used by the farming lobby to shut down reasoned discussions about whether we should reduce some of the largesses currently extended to farmers. Nations don’t need ‘food security’, they need a functioning global supply chain and reasonable leaders that can restrain the dogs of war.
Notions of things like food security only make wars more likely because nations feel like they’d be more likely to win in the event of one occurring. But really, we all know nobody would win in a war where America got to the point where food security was in question.
