I mean, I’m pretty sure i heard the chip fabrication technologies have some sort of strategic advantage for the west, so they will get in the way of that
It is but that also gives China a lot of leverage, if you mess with that ecosystem even a little itd cause huge shocks to the global economy and it isnt something you can repair fast
I dunno, risking the production capacity of a territory no longer under your influence seems like a thing they’d do, even if fabs elsewhere are years from approaching the capacity these existing fabs have
There's a Dutch company - ASML - that has a virtual monopoly on specialized equipment used in fabs (mostly lithography), and they refuse to sell one of the most advanced models to China under pressure from the West.
