I think you are right, but it hasn't happened yet. China keeps growing and developing with what seems to outside observers such unbelievable might that it's psyching people out . I think the rise of strong man rule and neo-fascis

I think this is exactly correct. It's why the Raspberry Pi is so brilliant for the ARM ecosystem. It gives devs an easy way to get exposed to ARM and paves the way for higher end ARM servers, laptops, desktops, etc. Power9 would really
