Only if they have — or can reasonably develop — the means to produce cutting-edge chips on their own, which is (arguably) not the case.

  If push comes to shove, they will.

  Wait. What? Serious interest here. Can anyone else verify that the Chinese don't have the ability to develop and manufacture these chips? That's stunning. I had no idea that was the case. Or is this just a, "they don't manufacture computer chips" kind of thing. Which, strategically speaking, is critically different than, "they don't know how".

    China can manufacture all but the best chips. They are continually improving, and I don't think anyone has offered a single reason why they couldn't do it.

      I think the insinuated reason is that they’re somehow inferior as a people.

      Superiority complex. Which is interesting, given that tech companies have lots of Asians in them. Then the goal gets moved to cultural superiority. I don’t discount culture but money and power are strongest drivers in my opinion; and China is willing to offer you lot of that if you are willing to abide by the party line.
