The chipmaker has been quick to redesign its products to pass the current restrictions, but US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo seems to have had enough.
As I said I do not think that means we should relax. Which is what happened with Huawei.
But it’s not like Huawei needed 10 to 15 years to catch up to the then-current state of technology as everybody claimed. So no, not “a long way to go”.
What are we going to do to counter it, bomb their facilities? We were convenient but they don’t need us. We can’t stall their progress without starting a war.
My point is there isn’t much between them. They already have one of the biggest chip making industries and they already bought the stuff to move forward.
“It wasn’t long ago that it was reported that Chinese companies are buying up US chipmaking equipment to make advanced semiconductors of their own”.
So it’s just a matter of time, I guess, till China has their own Chips anyway.
Time is a very valuable resource

That’s what they said about chips for Huawei phones and Huawei has already caught up.

What can we do?
I mean of course they will be looking into that… But it’s not a trivial thing… It’s not a tomorrow we have it working kind of thing…
