Should China encourage more Chinese companies to set up overseas R&D centers?

China is having trade surplus and a lot of inbound foreign investments, so China is sitting on a lot of American dollars. However because of investment restrictions in Western countries, China cannot use its money to acquire what it needs, namely technology. China is mostly buying useless stuff like luxury goods or international travel.

However China can still make greenfield investments in Western countries even though acquisitions are difficult because of politics. Maybe Chinese companies should be encouraged to set up overseas R&D centers as ways to acquire technology. But China of course wants to have domestic R&D jobs and in many fields needs to catch up first and it's cheaper to reinvent the wheel in China because of cheaper R&D costs.

A lot of Chinese companies have R&D in the U.S. Huawei I think is unique among Chinese companies in having R&D centers all around the globe and the strategy paid off. Huawei seems to be able to strike a balance between overseas and domestic R&D spending.

Absolutely.

It is the reverse brain drain.

Instead of luring white people to come to China as the form of the traditional brain drain, Ren Zhengfei comes to your house to do the brain drain.

Under the Magna Carta laws (something like that), whatever is produced in a Huawei legal western facility, Hauwei owns the IP and not the individual who invented it.

Huawei invented it, because that is the law.

Corporations own our butts.

:oops: :D

When you add up the Western alliance of US + EU + India + Canada + UK + Israel then over 50% of AI researchers still come from the West. This is why alliances are important and China needs to improve its foreign relations, as well as up its overall game.
So India AI technologies are generations ahead due to its researchers alliances with all the countries you mentioned?
And when did India became a 'western' country?

It's so simple to say China just has to have more Western allies... At what cost? Worshipping Westerners as Gods? If collaborating is so important to innovation, then why has the US been restricting collaboration with China. Oh is it because the US doesn't need collaboration to be innovative? Innovation has nothing to do with collaborating. And why would the US who is in alarm over Chinese technological advancements demand China collaborate so China can be innovative therefore a threat? The people that hate China are not interested in making China innovated. What they want is to use the idea of innovation as bait so they can get the Chinese to worship Westerners a Gods. The fact is the US knows when they get control of China they will teach values that will steer Chinese away from innovation and ever being a threat to the West. Like teaching how entertainment is important because success is determined by how much the audience likes you. It doesn't matter if your good or not, it's the audience that deems if your successful. If they don't like you, you have nothing. When you value science and engineering, you don't need their applause to be successful in putting together a nuclear bomb.

China automate mining industry should be lauded because it is dangerous job Every year we come across mine accident worker buried and dead No need for this tragedy and loss of life
Huawei helps build an intelligent mining innovation lab in north China's coal-rich Shanxi Province to facilitate the digital transformation of the country's coal industry.

SMIC’s 14 nanometer FinFET processes were in volume production in 2019, so the SW2610 is using a much older process, and

INteresting statement:
Which is due for mass production April this year. :cool: It's getting close, SMIC is being cautious as they De Americanize their production, @localizer Huawei letting go of Honor is to preserve their stock of chips, in their calculation 1st quarter of 2022 will be a crucial year. I'm hoping by that time (they and SMIC is working double overtime) a solution will be reach. The good thing is they are working hard and is not looking for foreign grace for its salvation.
