Tpp was a terrible trade deal for American workers, just like NAFTA. It was a great way for American multi national corporations to ship jobs overseas. That type of pact will not be coming back anytime soon.

It was bipartisan for the most part. Even the drones on Reddit were shitting on TPP but of course when those dumbfucks realized that it weakens the US position in Asia-Pacific, they started pretending that they were all for it from the get-go.
GTA steps up purchases of China homegrown fab tools

Shanghai-based analog chips foundry GTA Semiconductor has stepped up purchases from Naura Technology, ACM Research and other China-based semiconductor equipment makers to carry out its second-phase investment project in Lingang Special Area in Shanghai.
The U.S. : OMG our trade deficit with China is too high, they need to buy more from us.
Also the U.S. : We need to stop selling high-tech products to China, and at the same time damage our own companies' reputations with unnecessary export controls.
I don't understand what is the ultimate goal of the United States, do they want to be China's supermarket? Because selling low-tech products isn't going to work, China can still make T-shirts cheaper than in the US. So the only thing left is agricultural products.
So kudos to American politicians (especial thanks to the Republicans), they managed to achieve in a few years what all the Chinese bureaucrats failed to achieve in the last decades: convince Chinese companies to buy local products. Local chips, local tools, local software, etc.

It's what happens when a dying empire masquerading as a "democracy" faces a real competitor. They have zero idea what to do except flail around making stupid policies until the inevitable collapse.
I don't think they will "collapse" but looks like that some of the policies are made by stoned teenagers.
When China announced "Made in China 2025". What was the European response? Industry 4.0
What was the United States response? A mumbo jumbo of incoherent policies that had achieve nothing.
The TPP was designed to ringwall China, with political objectives placed ahead of economic ones. To achieve the political goal, the US had to bring in several developing economics to which the TPP rules did not make any economic sense. So the US ended up throwing in a lot of sweeteners for those countries, which US workers and their unions found to be highly detrimental.
This is in contrast to RCEP, where economic objectives take a front seat.
Stop here. Going too far OT.
Wow what a colossal waste of money and capacity the "rip and replace" order was, all so some politicians could score some points with the voters for being "tough on China".

YMTC's self-developed SSD controllers have been certified by PCI-SIG PCI-E, all with PCIe 4.0 x4 interface
According to micronet news, recently, according to a report from tomshardware, YMTC is designing its own SSD controller. Recently, two of the controllers were validated for PCI Express compliance at the PCI-SIG workshop.
According to the data, YMTC's PCI-SIG-validated SSD controller series currently includes models PE310 and PE320, but there may be other controllers that are not listed in the PCI-SIG integrator list.
Both the PE310 and PE320 feature a PCIe 4.0 x4 host interface, designed for high-end drives, and may respectively support different numbers of NAND flash channels, the report said.
It is reported that the new generation of 3D NAND memory requires advanced error correction and signal processing algorithms. Therefore, since 2000, major NAND manufacturers have begun to develop SSD master control by themselves, instead of leaving it to a third party to ensure better product quality.
Historically, among manufacturers of 2D and 3D NAND, only Samsung and Intel have designed SSD controllers in-house, while other leading flash manufacturers have left SSD controller development to third parties. In many cases, a poor combination of NAND, controller, and firmware results in a poor-quality drive.
This is really positive news coming out of YMTC. It cuts dependence on what used to be a purely imported product with no domestic substitutes. Also, given the performance characteristics of YMTC memory, they really need a high performance controller specific to their memory to increase the value of their product to the consumer.
