I'm actually cautiously excited about new competition in high end semiconductor fabrication. Huawei and China won't just sit around twiddling their thumbs, they've got to manufacture chips somehow/somewhere.
China’s isolationism will cause massive pains to do it all in house. If they can, we are all fucked.
All these things seem like desperate moves from a failing empire. I don't believe for a second the U.S. cares about human rights here. That doesn't mean I think the CCP is 'good', but 2 things can be true at the same time. EDIT: typo
There are gradients to everything. Where in the US we have a free press to document human rights violations and people can voice their opinion, China has none. The problem with statements like yours is that it completely trivializes the major violations of one country and the progress that has been made in improving human rights of the other.
Like 3000+ anti Trump stories on NYTimes. Try that in China?

Can you name a nation that does not care about their own interests? US or not, replace it with France or Brazil or India. It’s not just US, - Japan, EU, SK, APEC, India, Australia, NZ, everyone is piling up on the CCP’s regime that it has built up by abusing its own citizens, iron grip over the society, surveillance and extreme form of asymmetry in trade. Look up: http://www.ipac.global So bashing on US is convenient…
The founder of SMIC on the mainland is actually Taiwanese and a former TSMC executive. Loyalties cut across the strait both ways, westerners overemphasis attachment to values and ideology over bloodlines and ancestry. It's true for some but not for others. There are quite a lot of foreign engineers working on the mainland, especially Taiwanese engineers. If you are a industry vet or got some kind of special talent yo…
This doesn’t make sense. > On the mainland if you are a leading expert in this field or that, or belong to specific establishments (such as public security or state security) you cannot exit the country without permission from higher up the food chain. That alone will be enough to deter people from moving to China for even 10x salary. Getting locked into an insane Han-supremacy regime is walking into the dragon’s mou…

What you missed is the massive global interconnected supply chain that goes into building the fab (not the building, but the process equipment and software). China’s isolationism will cause massive pains to do it all in house. If they can, we are all fucked.
They've done it before (quite recently, too), whole tech supply chains inside China. I don't think the CCP would want to be seen as "begging" to lift the bans...

This is an extremely naive point of view. The CCP is a revisionist, expansionist rising power that already has been actively committing genocide of Uyghurs. It has more territorial disputes than it has physical neighbors. They want this, and have been fighting for this all this time.
Dude, you should check the map of the Qing, compare it to the Republic of China (Taiwan), then compare it to the PRC. They ceded a whole lot of land all over the place, peacefully, as part of negotiations. For example the whole of Mongolia was part of Qing. They are not as war mongering as you believe.

Yes. But I don't think that giving more power to the US Empire will be better for human rights long term. The US and it's client states also kill millions of people for profit.
Do.. you have a citation for that?

The way China has developed and the growth potential still there, I can totally see Chinese expats moving back there.

> Then, US / UK / Taiwanese companies could say: we're no longer dealing with Huawei. This is one of the big differences between laws and code, and many programmers get this confused. In code, intention does not matter. What code you write, is what the CPU executes. In law intention matters. If you came before a judge and pleaded innocent because Huawei changed their name to Uawei, the judge is going to laugh as they…
He's downvoted but he's got a point. What if it's not as simple as just changing their name? What if you dismantle Huawei and sell it off to "other" companies, operating independently and/or cooperating with each other? At some point it would be extremely hard to say "this is still Huawei". The US gov should've banned all major Chinese companies, because that seems like a big loophole to me. Even then it still seems…
