With you last statement, when the "Chinese government", I assume you mean the CCP. And build technology, I assume you mean becoming leaders in chip design, which seems unlikely now but let's assume the CCP succeed with their "thousand talents program" and become leaders in chip design in 5 to 10 years; what about the rest of the world after that? This will not be (unlike Taiwan, Japan and South Korea) about selling technology without political strings attached. The CCP attaches political strings particularly to trade, so the awful realization that the CCP could be controlling a company, similar to the current Taiwanese TSMC in 10 years, fills me with dread on how the CCP will eventually totally control the global trade of smart phones, mobile networks, laptops and computers, setting benchmarks and bottlenecks in trade in electronics as it sees fit. And furthermore wage war with impunity, with similar chip technology going into leading edge missile guidance. Any good to come out of that???
