    evacuating the TSMC specialists just means they handicap everyone involved. wafer fab is a very complicated process and if any cog is missing you gotta do a lot of training and fixing to replace that cog. and its not like you can just copy paste them onto some new site. new equipment means new training. many years of delay, potentially decades, will be the case

        tbf the soviets did have some amazing spies (turns out communism is a good motivator when you live in a capitalist hellhole) that fed the designs to them. so they got parallel research out of it

          If you believe the popular media of a few years ago China has root access to every network in America and knows everything that every tech company has done for the last ten years. And to that I say "Well done chaps!"
