Still dreaming of a free market. If this is truly a free market, Uncle Sam shouldn't be tripping SMIC's latest plans to increase investment to expand and upgrade its technology base false pretense. The US sole aim is to strangle Chinese high tech development. How can someone claim free market when one party is being subjected to sanction while another is free to develop and advance without hindrance. China today is different from China of yesterday- uneducated, poorly fed, penniless, no resources and no outside contacts. In the 2 to 3 years time China should be able to shake off America's strangle hold on high tech industry, and maybe there will be a Chinese near peer of TSMC. Presently Chinese high tech companies need the protection and assistance of the State to weather the incessant attacks from Uncle Sam. China's present assistance for the high tech industry will nurture sufficient players for internal competition to come out with the superior quality products. Meanwhile TSMC is going to hit the limits of physics soon and can advance no further. China's investment and technology development of 3G semiconductors will finally end America's supremacy in tech high.

Well well what do you know contrary to western prediction of the demise of China smart phone industry
So all of you China skeptic out there eat your heart out. this
Chinese shipments of 5G phones surge to 140m
Country takes pole position for smartphones as cheap chips, efficient processes and network cover boost production
China will ship 140 million 5G smartphones this year, market research company Counterpoint Research estimates.
In July, China’s sales of 5G phones reached 14 million units, up 239% from January and accounting for nearly 50% of the country’s smartphone sales, Counterpoint analyst Tang Ding, said. During the same month, China accounted for 79% of all 5G phone shipments globally.
The surge of China’s 5G smartphone shipments can be attributed to a number of reasons, including the rapid commercialisation of mid and low-end 5G chips from chipmakers like Qualcomm, MediaTek and Spreadtrum Communications; the high efficiency of new product development by Chinese mobile phone manufacturers and original design manufacturers; China’s effective control of the Covid-19 pandemic; and Chinese operators’ network coverage and their promotion of 5G data plans, Tang said.
More than 600,000 5G base stations have been built and put into use in China, connecting more than 100 million terminal devices in total, according to the data released by the country’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Major Chinese 5G phone manufacturers include Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Realme and OnePlus.

Actually, some chinese do think about Portugal. There are a lot of chinese in Portugal, and last not least, until 1999, Portugal controlled a small piece of China called Macau (the gambling capital of china, AFAIK). It was a heritage from the colonial past, and has now been given back to china, as it should. But this is just to remind you that china and portugal have some common past. But i dont want anyone in this forum to be offended by this, not least brightfuture.
Ok...first you say "multi-party state", then you say "leadership of the Chinese Communist Party". Do you know what a multi-party democracy is ?
Does anyone knows the difference betwen the SABRE engine that powers skylon, and the scramjet engine?

A SABRE engine uses a precooler to cool the air and mixes that cooled oxygen with hydrogen to combust.
A scramjet doesn't precool the air, instead supersonic airflow is combusted with whatever fuel the scramjet is working (mind you, a SABRE engine and scramjet engine can be put together as part of a combined cycle engine)
SABRE work up to match 5, after that it works as a normal rocket engine.
It use the liquid hydrogen to precool the incoming air, keeping low compressor temperature and high efficiency.
This is a 2002 document, but it makes a comparition betwen the different propulsion concepts for an SSTO plane.
I wonder if it will be SABRE that finally manages to make a SSTO plane feasible. Also, nowadays its design is no longer a curved engine.
I still think that recoverable rockets are more economical than spaceplanes.
