As long as there is support for the start-ups which need to rise out of the ashes to replace the dead husk. It's not like the demand has gone away for advanced fighter jets, or cutting edge microprocessors. They need to foster a healthier supply chain to ensure that capacity is met.
- kragen 2y agoSMIC will be more than happy to satisfy the demand for advanced fighter jets and cutting-edge microprocessors if Samsung and TSMC don't have enough capacity to make up for Intel's hypothetically closed fabs. If not buying from SMIC means that US AI, supercomputers, fighter jets, drones, etc., are too expensive to be competitive in countries like India, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Brazil, Nigeria, Indonesia, and the UK, until the ashes finish rising, well, probably that will suit some people just fine. Not US legislators, though.
