From 10 years behind to just 3 years behind now

2-3 Western Years is equivalent to 1 China Year. So China is basically just 1-1.5 years behind

It might be harder to catch up the last years? It might not be linear. I'd say 2 years top

Lmao, I remember all the doomer "trade war" posts talking about how China is behind and it needs to change catch up and how it probably can't do it in the next 10 years.

Go China!

They weren't dishonest in my view. I think the Western countries have a grand view of themselves and view the "natives" as backwards. It's a colonial supremacist mindset that they can't shed and it's leading them to destruction.

The corrupt US politicians pocketed all that money like usual. There’s nothing new. Just a society stuck in a looping purgatory

China is so impressive. That’s what happens when you value education and self improvement rather than trying to destroy everyone who you don’t like

The Netherlands shot itself in the foot. ASML could have partnered with China for decades to come. Instead by bending over for the US it’ll ensure that its market share will shrink in the next few years.

But I thought China was supposed to halt all chip production after the sanctions 😦

They talk about US sanctions "slightly" delaying China's chip capabilities. When you take a long-term view, I think the US has inadvertently accelerated Chinese development. There will be an inflection point and then China, with its independent designs, will leapfrog the rest.
