China’s top chipmaker may be in hot water as US lawmakers call for further sanctions after Huawei ‘breakthrough’::Shares in SMIC, China’s largest contract chipmaker, plunged on Thursday, after two US congressmen called on the White House to further restrict export sales to the company.
“Hot water”? They seem pretty content about the breakthrough.
Man, US penalizing foreign breakthroughs is pathetic.
You don‘t get it. Huawei and the CCP made some propaganda about how the sanctions totally don‘t work and claimed they were able to produce a chip that is 5 years behind. It is however more likely it was a big bluff and they didn’t produce it themselves. So their plan of saying „Your sanctions only force us to innovate and will hurt you in the end so you might aswell lift them“ completely backfired. The US saw their propaganda and probably judt thought the sanctions weren‘t hard enough if China keeps getting chips supplied to them. Hot water is a nice euphemism for what China is in right now.
Where do you get that from? How do you know the chip is 5 years behind? In the article it says that people were surprised how advanced it is. Genuinely curious
The chip design is top notch. The manufacturing is 3 generations behind. Its manufactured in 7nm. Current state of the art is 3nm. So more like 3–4 years and not 5, but still behind.
We can’t say anything for certain though, since besides the manufacturing width, yields are important too. If they manage 7nm in a high yield its a completely different story than 7nm with a low yield. In a capitalist system no one would go 7nm with a low yield, but in Chinas system economical viability isn’t a priority.
Man, I love the amount of copium here.
Anything that makes you better little man :)

“We’re not assholes. But if we are, then they deserved it.”
The fiction of the last 30 years is revealed to those with eyes to see.
All this time the capital class and their lackeys have been saying “Russia is a our superfriend now and China wants to be democratic so we are helping them by using their slave labour and don’t you feel guilty for questioning our supremely good intentions here!”
And meanwhile it’s the same old global power struggle, but you can make SO MUCH using slave labour, it was just too tempting to send every bit of our labour - even our high tech - over to their factories.
The CCP be like “oh no, I have this enormous population of exploitable laborers with minimal workers rights, sure hope some wealthy western capitalist don’t use them and make us rich in the process”.

The US healthcare system is poor, especially considering the considerable wealth of the US. But 91.7% of Americans have healthcare, and Canada and Mexico both have socialized healthcare.
So when you say, “north americans dont (have healthcare)”, you’re guzzling the saddest lowest IQ attempt at propaganda I’ve ever seen.

Western capitalists getting rich off CCP forced labor.
Ultimately though, does this matter? The smartphone userbase in China and India are a combined 6 times the size of the USA’s and are growing. Furthermore, the USA imports most of their tech from China, while China keeps their wealth largely internal. Even if the USA were to completely cutoff trade with China, it’s not like China’s doing nearly as much importing of manufactured goods, especially in the low-end, and it’s not as though China would be at a loss for trade partners even if every US ally followed suit.
Cutting off trade to China, at least by what I can tell, would hurt the USA far more than China, or am I wrong?
They moved our jobs and production, and for what? Cheaper trinkets and widgets?

America is upset again that other societies are developing technologically.
Let’s see those kernel vulnerabilities!!!
All of China is making fun of Usa, and all Usamericans start crying and throwing tantrums like nasty little children. Even their seniors in parliament.
What a show.
