“The local companies are very, very talented and very determined, and the export control gave them the spirit, the energy and the government support to accelerate their development,” Huang told media the Computex tech show in Taipei.

“I think, all in all, the export control was a failure.” An illustration showing the path of extreme ultraviolet light as it travels from source to silicone wafer A journey through the hyper-political world of microchips Read more

“China has a vibrant technology ecosystem, and it’s very important to realise that China has 50% of the world’s AI researchers, and China is incredibly good at software,” Huang said.

Lol no shit. China is, if not already surpassing the west in tech. And we handed it to them on a silver platter. Our capitalist class decides they didn't want the bother of factories with environmental and labor regulations, so they went to China. And we let them. Now china has it all. I mean what are they behind on? Maybe some cutting edge aerospace stuff? They're quickly reaching chip parity.

And all because our capitalist overlords didn't wanna deal with unions.
