If it's true that they're still a bit behind the cutting edge in lithography technology, then China is going to blow past the rest of the world in advanced semiconductors in the next 2-3 years. Wringing that kind of performance out of less precise lithography techniques means their chips will be better than western chips once they achieve parity in lithography technology, which will probably happen in the next 2-3 years. Before the end of the decade China is going to be decisively more technologically advanced than the US. It's fucking over.
we should start counting down to when the sabotage comes; china only has a handful of places that can make these chips and a well placed explosive; management suddenly jumping out of windows; or people demanding fair labor practices/pay should ground the whole thing a stop long enough to guarantee that china will never catch up.
There's a conspiracy angle on the Malaysian Air 370 that it was the US stealing or eliminating a team of Chinese engineers involved in chip design. Flew it to Diego Garcia and then dumped the plane.
