Once China takes the semiconductor crown, the US isn't getting it back.

Glad I get to be alive to witness communism beat capitalism. While the US ruling class wastes its money on dumb shit like "space tourism," the Chinese ruling class has been investing vehemently into its own populace.

I’m intrigued…..

  1. Why and how do you think China will take the semiconductor crown?
  2. in what way will communism “beat” capitalism?
  3. You think China has been investing in its own people? The wealth gap in China between the 1% and the rest is enormous and growing - that’s how all communism ends up lol. Chinas ruling class treat the rest of the population like garbage.

You do know, that China is a capitalistic country labeling themselves as communist?

Apart from that you're right.

The PRC is also quickly catching up in semiconductors, and they actually build infrastructure, unlike the US. Sure, they have a massive wealth disparity and very obviously aren't communist, but they're doing a few things right.

Guess it depends which part of the graph you are on.

So China has a smaller percentage of its population below 10k USD net worth despite having a 45% lower cost of living? That's a pretty big difference in the number of people who can live comfortably. I'm willing to sacrifice people's ability to be ludicrously rich for that.

And yet most americans think chinese people live in dirt huts wearing rags, and are forced into slave labor. I wonder if there will ever be a time when politicians stop lieing for their country.

Yeah China is actually insane. They're growing like exponentially and we're over here at crawling progress

And of course the miraculous Chinese GPUs won't have any tracking inside, none at all!

just like their smartphones and networking devices, right?
