Steve Hsu has had guests on his podcasts saying exactly this. There was already a domestic semiconductor industry but big players almost never used them since the big semiconductor companies were such a safe bet.
Well, now they’re forced to use them, and they’re growing.
With the fabs available to them they can’t produce latest gen very few nanometer dies, but for a lot of use cases that doesn’t matter.
And of course, I’m sure they’ve got too people working on catching up. China graduates more engineers in a year than the United States has total.
Imagine if you banned Western countries from exporting cars to Japan in 1950.

- biotopia 3y agoThat's what every Chinese fanboys on this forum keeps repeating: so many Chinese graduates! However, with unofficial 40% youth unemployment rate and 10k chip companies shutting down in 2023 https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/manufacturing/chinese-chip-related-companies-shutting-down-with-record-speed-10900-or-around-30-per-day-shut-down-in-2023 https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/manufacturing/chi..., where would these graduates actually work? realistic answer is that they're right now delivering food or driving didi. or laying flat doing nothing.
