I for one am betting the farm that the US administration will NOT realize this and will continue ramping up sanctions and doubling down, tripling down, quadrupling down. The semiconductor sanctions are a complete failure and yet these policies not only continue unabated but are intensifying. In 2010, when Google voluntarily left China, this paved the way for China's own tech ecosystem to grow. It basically now had an internal monopoly that given its technical capabilities and billion plus market, guaranteed success. Succeed it did and out of it grew the core of China's tech industry. Now, we have the same situation playing out again except China is in a WAAAYYYyyyyy stronger situation with an overwhelming global semiconductor marketshare, where they already have the major mainstream semiconductor process nodes mastered. What are the idiots at the US state department thinking? How do degrees in the Humanities explain the level of stupid that policies like this display?
Does not seem like anything more than double talk, then some commentary on that double talk.
That passes off as news nowadays in American media.
I'm not a software guy but I never understood why not just use a Linux OS? There are Chinese-developed distros out there already:
Bro they ban Nvidia 7nm GPU chips while Biren had just launched their 7nm GPU, now they exempt SK and Samsung from importing US equipment use in their FABS in China while restricting the Chinese from getting 14nm and below when the Chinese themselves had already indigenized the whole 14nm tech and its production process...lol the more they restrict the more surprise they get and they will not admit defeat and keep on restricting until they isolate themselves completely....lol

Linux isnt good for casual users.
Most people are casual users. In that realm, most Linux-based OSes are still behind in terms of UI experience and application support. In addition, the general public has a huge amount of inertia - they use what they are familiar with. They're not going to consider computers using alternative OSes unless there is a pressing need or massive advantage. We may argue national security, but the common consumer likely doesn't care. In a sense, they are "locked" into the Windows/Mac ecosystem.
Any Chinese-developed distros would likely not have been developed and optimized as much as the popular OSes. That can be rectified, but it would take time and focus. That is made more difficult by OS development being one of the smaller fields within software development - hence proportionally less talent and capital.
