US warmongering has forced China into a “delete America” program with critical priority for chips. In the short term, this harms humanity and US dominance through lower market access, and lower US R&D due to less market access. In long term, it harms US dominance by forcing China to surpass them.
Shroedinger’s Tariffs?
If a tariff falls on a product category but no one is around to hear it, did it even make a sound?
To add to this, it appears that only about 15% of China’s exports go to the US. I thought it’s much more than that.
2% of China’s GDP also, so noticeable but not the knife in the side that the Whitehouse seems to think it is.
For this number, is it related to the Chinese government GDP numbers, or independently measured? My understanding is that the CCP use GDP differently that the West, in that they release numbers which are prescriptive estimates and goals, as opposed to statistical results.
its down to 12%
Sorry for sharing an Instagram link but this beauty here. chef’s kiss.

American manufacturers don’t buy Chinese chips because they’re really bad
Yeah this view is pretty dated. Like it or not, China has caught up and started leading in several industries over the last 10 years. They have the capacity, skills, and domestic demand for competitive high quality products. Their domestic chip from SIMV is only a few years behind at “5nm” which was the 2021 standard. I’m still playing modern games on a 8 year old i7. Most consumers who use their phones for social media probably wouldn’t notice much difference between a 2021 phone vs 2025 phone besides a better camera and software.

No, I mean if we’re talking about comparing US and Chinese consumer chips on most phone activities in 2025, you aren’t likely to notice a major difference.
If you want to compare mobile camera systems, that’s a separate comparison. I like Google camera software/processing a lot, but Chinese companies have been innovating tremendously with their mobile camera stacks. I’m way more interested in the Huawei 14/15 ultra offerings for example.

Do you have a five year old phone or CPU? Congrats, you have the same performance of Chinese chips. Except you paid 10x more
at least the drivers work
Huawei chips are tariff free?
