Depends. Some Chinese corporations (Huawei) are stock-based worker cooperatives and give you insane dividends as a worker. Like, paying better than silicon valley type dividends. If they promised to do that for semiconductors as a forced transition I doubt those workers would go poof because plenty of westerners already wanna work for those chinese agencies cause of the pay.
Obviously there are downsides to stock-based worker cooperatives but its better than the run-of-the-mill corporation
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.
