This gap will only widen over time; China is failing to develop a domestic semiconductor industry, despite massive efforts to do so, and is increasingly cut off from international semiconductor supply chains.
I would say this is a falsehood
The US export ban on Controlled GPUs has really made china push for local semiconductor manufacturing way, and accelerate their projects, they dont have 5nm TSMC quality wafers, fine, but they’re developing the full stack.
I mean if this was a “The AGi Race Between the US and Russia doesnt exist” okay fine, but Seeing how more than half the papers that land in ArXiv have chinese authors in them, plus the whole China does 90% of electronic manufacturing in the world. I dont understand how you come to the conclusion that china is hopelessly dead in the water.
The day the US export ban on GPU happened, okay, most of us really wondered, but seeing how they’re operating 6 months to a year afterwards, it just obvious that they will be able to make it happen.
Can you expand on this? Why would it be a bad idea? I have interacted with mainland chinese people (outside of china) and I’m not really making the connection.
