    You have adequately demonstrated your knowledge. Ten years is not that long. It’s happening. We should prepare for it, not deny the reality which is what most do.

      “It’s happening?”

      If you mean that China is attempting to close the semiconductor manufacturing gap, that’s correct.

      If you mean that they are closing that gap, that’s baseless.

      There’s no evidence that they are any closer to closing that gap in manufacturing advanced microchips even with the billions of dollars they’ve poured into the industry since before US sanctions began.

      The forum users you were talking about may not be preparing for the Chinese investment in semiconductor infrastructure, but the u.s government has been for years.

      We didn’t invite TSMC to set up in Arizona because we wanted a cool company in our backyard. It’s directly related to the imposed sanctions and the knowledge that China will attempt to close that gap.

      Biden isn’t investing tens of billions of dollars into chip manufacturing on a whim, it’s a deliberate preemptive response to what has obviously been coming for a while with Taiwan refusing to integrate with China and holding such technological superiority over China.

        You don’t have go do nuts with the details, I read the same articles. I’m just saying this is in the process of happening and people are denying the reality in general.

        Example: https://lemmy.world/comment/8043602

        Example: there’s a person in this thread insisting that Chinese people do not have a way to say “yes”. It’s… weird, to be charitable.

          Based on your positions so far, it doesn’t seem like your vague “this” is happening at all.

          It isn’t weird that Chinese languages don’t have a word for “yes”, different languages have different rules.

          It’s just as weird and normal that you don’t use gendered nouns while writing English.
