What? Who goes to war for some chips that can be smuggled easily xd
- aurareturn 2y agoIt's not just about smuggling. First, smuggling adds costs and risks, which makes Chinese AI companies less competitive. Second, China wants to design and manufacture chips on TSMC. They don't want to just buy Nvidia chips, they want to compete against Nvidia.

- aurareturn 2y ago>They want to design and manufacture themselves. Sure, but they want to rely on TSMC now so they don't fall behind in high tech in 2024/2025. Getting their own EUV tech is still many years away. >Going to war does the same multiplied by 100? 1000? Well, you know what they say, if I can't have it, you can't either.
