"It wasn't long ago that it was reported that Chinese companies are buying up US chipmaking equipment to make advanced semiconductors of their own".
So it's just a matter of time, I guess, till China has their own Chips anyway.
Time is a very valuable resource
That's what they said about chips for Huawei phones and Huawei has already caught up.
But it's not like Huawei needed 10 to 15 years to catch up to the then-current state of technology as everybody claimed. So no, not "a long way to go".
What are we going to do to counter it, bomb their facilities? We were convenient but they don't need us. We can't stall their progress without starting a war.
My point is there isn't much between them. They already have one of the biggest chip making industries and they already bought the stuff to move forward.
What can we do?
If a large chunk of their production is exported the market could be influenced to reduce the amount they can export, such as expanding US chip production to replace Chinese imports. Then their industries would be less profitable and have to spend time scaling down to meet the lower demand, which would also reduce their capacity to develop.
I think that fits between one extreme and another?
I mean of course they will be looking into that... But it's not a trivial thing... It's not a tomorrow we have it working kind of thing...
