    You can find plenty of commentators saying anything in the modern world. That is not evidence of credibility, unless you’re in a church or something.

    I would challenge anyone to said that to explain how exactly stopping trade would prevent Chinese companies from improving their chips. Is it assumed they are incapable of improvement?

      I agree, but the US government thinks otherwise, and apparently the Commerce Department is now opening an investigation into how the Chinese could possibly have made a 7 nm chip. Though it’s not clear what else they can do; they’ve already completely blacklisted Huawei by this point, yet somehow it still lives.

        Don’t believe everything you hear. I can think of no compelling arguments for why the Chinese cannot do research that remains 10 years behind the Taiwanese.
