Chinese CXMT to Match Micron's DRAM Manufacturing Capacity This Year (www.techpowerup.com)

A particularly surprising discovery is that CXMT is constructing its cleanrooms—where the actual silicon is produced—in just around 12 months, whereas the rest of the DRAM manufacturing industry typically takes 21-24 months, nearly a full year longer.

Finally, the report notes that the Chinese government is encouraging CXMT to transfer its DRAM technology IP to other Chinese DRAM manufacturers such as JHICC, Swaysure, and YTMC's subsidiary XMC. This initiative aims to alleviate memory shortages domestically before CAMT-designed DRAM enters other markets, such as the EU and possibly even the U.S.

They aren't in it for me, but Micron nor SK Hynix give any shits about me either.

But at least they don't want to either kill you or force you into autocracy.

I mean, we don't actually know that. Micron may very well take that position if given the opportunity in exchange for profit. They do already run a cartel after all.

They might make some decisions against their own interests in the name of lowering taxes, but they can't profit off of a country of dead bodies and if you live under an autocracy then so will they.

Chinese government has no such incentives holding them back.

Wrong. Plenty of German large corpos helped Hitler come to power and made good money under him, and are prime brands these days. E.g. Agfa, BASF, Bayer and Sanofi. Our capitalists definitively do not want democracy. Plenty of them have said as much and their interests are aligned with autocracy. Democracy means taxes and regulations and they def don't want either of those.

Many many more companies were completely destroyed by the nazi regime and even those that survived were destroyed during the following reparations and occupations.

The real winners were the foreign tech companies like IBM. I wonder if you can draw any paralels there?
