Those are the entirelly the predictable consequences of America getting away with blocking the sale of such machines to China.
What the fuck did those strategically inept morons expected: that a country the size of China which trains TONS of Engineers would in an area were progress has actually slowed down a lot just give up and go "yeah, we'll yield to the will of America and accept that our future is making plastic gadgets" rather than try to catch up to a competition that's barelly moving forward???
Maybe the brainrot of Racism and Nationalism made those acephalic idiots think that Chinese are somehow inherently inferior to "our people" and couldn't possibly figure out by themselves how to progress in the area of chip making.
