Thought China produced the ultimate crisps for a second.
China isn’t capable of microprocessor manufacturing, these chips are from South Korea lol
And the phones come from the Netherlands. China doesn’t make anything their own
Were the sanctions China can’t acquire chips at all even if they make it themselves?
“No organization or individual shall implement or assist the implementation of the discriminatory restrictive measures taken by foreign states against Chinese citizens or organizations.
If any organization or individual injures the legal rights and interests of Chinese citizens or organizations in contravention of the foregoing provision, the injured Chinese organization or individual may bring a suit before the people’s court seeking cessation of injury and compensation of damages pursuant to law. ” ——The PRC Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law (AFSL)
chip fab go brrrrrrrrr
until it suffers a catastrophic accident that’s totally going to happen and then china will have to play catchup for at least ten years to reach the level that they’re at now where, by then, they’ll be far behind. lol
I would hope that they would distribute this technology in order to give it redundant resiliency, protection against sabotage
it takes billions of dollar and nearly decades to build fabs; which are the only places chips can be produced; that’s why western hegemonic forces like the american gov’t or the international monetary fund will only help build very few, to ensure that there’s no viable competition but enough extra capacity in cases it’s ever needed.
