Oh, you want to play the game, "China this, not my country?" OK
You want to compare my country with a country whose population is 136 times bigger ? Again, about china replicating the entire chip manufacturing chain , lets see WHEN will they manage to do that AND keep competitive...
Quick question since you're Portugese: did China buy your country's electricity grid? I remember hearing something about that a while back, but you're just so small and insignificant that I never bothered following up on it.
Yes, the three gorges dam company bought EDA, my country´s national energy company, when my country was recovering from bankrupcy. But to call my country insignificant? at least my country isnt a dictatorship which does and has done horrible things in the past. But thats offtopic. There are things not permited in this forum.
You guys keep assuming that this guy is Portuguese, I tried to challenge him and he didn't answer. Spanish and Portuguese understand each other almost perfectly (at least when we write), the fact that he didn't answer indicates there is a very high possibility that this guy is just some troll. I guess he must be Indian, only Indians have so much free time
Oh, i understand alright. I have already posted in portuguese in this forum. And got a warning that this is an english-language forum. So, no more portuguese language here for me.
Looks like SMIC is not actually on the Entity List.
The US is *warning* US suppliers they can't ship controlled items to SMIC, which could be for military use.
The way it see it, is that firms using US tech need a license to sell to SMIC. If the company makes into the entity list, these firms will need a special permission. I dont know the difference betwen those two requirements. Does anyone here knows?
