I don’t understand how they think this shit is effective. There are over a billion people in China. They don’t think any of them are intelligent enough to design their own? Fantasyland thinking…
Advanced chip making is one of if not the most complicated and cost intensive manufacturing processes in the world. It’s not something you can just throw a team of geniuses onto and have them spit out a product in a couple of years. It’s not that China is incapable, they would just need to spend a lot of time and money investing in R&D, the same thing companies like TSMC had to do. They’re already doing that, but in the meantime the United States is trying to protect their competitive edge.
Yeah, the West kept semiconductor technology away from the Soviets for years and even though the Soviets managed ways of importing it through grey markets in other countries, their reverse-engineering attempts were consistently a decade or more behind the West, something that's continued to this day in Russia.
The department of energy has been working on EUV lithography since the 90's and currently only one Dutch company has the lithography machines to manufacture current wafers... honestly western countries have been technically working on the current EUV lithography since the 60's... long way of saying it's not just smart people it took teams of people decades to get the current tech.
