    Lol, what can the Chinese make that is current with American and Korean designs? Taiwan is #1 chip maker in the world and it isn’t the same Chinese as the mainland. The best die sizes the mainland can muster is 10nm, which was 3 generations ago by Intel/AMD standards.

    And what company in China can make 7nm? Huawei outsources it’s chip fab to SMIC now that TSMC gave them the boot. SMIC can’t make anything smaller than 7nm but scaling it for them is hard because their process doesn’t use EUV and other next gen western techniques. China is starting from behind and has no chance of catch up because they don’t have the tech or knowledge for how to build it.
