Cutting them off from world supplies is a pain in the arse for China in the short term, but a huge boon for them in the medium/long term. Now there is a huge market and motivated government. There is nothing magic about silicon that means China won't master it given the time and motivation...
And given that the west either really needs AI to be worth a damn (and a defendable advantage) or we're one step closer to the Chinese century or whatever dramatic thing were calling it...
- edgyquant 3y agoYour first paragraph remains to be seen and the second is hilariously pro-Chinese. There’s little reason to think the Chinese can actually compete with the US without their help, let alone the entire western world.
- LatteLazy 3y agoMy statement isn't meant to be pro Chinese. And saying "don't underestimate china" is only pro Chinese if you think underestimating China is a good idea... Also, in this matter, China is not competing with the US. The US already lost out to Taiwan in semiconductor manufacturing. The idea that there is something magic about the US and no Chinese people could ever compete with us is at best very silly.
- gloryjulio 3y agoWhy are you mixing up Chinese ppl and China? Taiwan is not China. If your are talking about the race there are Chinese everywhere.
- LatteLazy 3y agoI haven't mixed them up. I think Chinese people are capable of producing just as good a quality of chips as non Chinese people. Apparently that's controversial!? Also I did not say Taiwan is China. No idea where you got that?
