Bro I read from Western political pundits wondering why the Chinese hadn't retaliate on the chip ban, well the simply answer is the Chinese will build it themselves instead of whining about the unfairness and claim the victim card. A perfect example is Tiangong Space Station, the CNC Machine and many more. The Chauvinist Chinese will never bow down to any Westerner, it may sound pretentious BUT compared with American Exceptionalism, with the lesson learn from hundred years of humiliation, we have a noble mission which is the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, culture and its people.
Right on brother, cannot disagree, and support that full.
The narrative here, very Confucian, very standardized, very accepted by the unwashed masses. The good stuff.
What I am interested in, because I am a cynical bastard, is the actual down and dirty details, of the kung fu fighting. Because everyone luvs that!
The longer the fight continues, between the US and China, and how it is going now, by waiting the US weaker and the whole board opens up for China to pick and choose where to strike when the time comes appropriate.
For example, just the emergence of a domestic Chinese EUV machine will be a devastating blow. They keep hyping some sort of chip alliance. A Chinese EUV will cripple that thing, making it useless and retarded.
The Huawei 5G fight is still kind of ongoing. They just keep building out the network applications. Soon the Americans will what the Chinese are doing, and the Americans cannot do because they still have not installed the gear.
Then even with the EV, China already number exporter of that. LOL. The Americans do not even know how that happened. Not even the lapdog Japanese government have an answer for that.
This is not even to mention any scientific progress, or in space exploration, or military stuff.
This is a full frontal assault on the current world order, and done as quietly as possible. China does not give a damn anymore about American opinion. Totally useless.
Got to move on.
