i’m convinced that this is one of the bellweathers for ww3; if china’s semiconductor industry is allowed to attain dominance by the united states; it would be clearest sign of the american empires decline.
in the future: i doubt very much that the american empire would take kindly to asml placing upon the same restrictions that the american’s forced them to place on china.

Counterpoint: advanced chips aren’t as important geopolitically as people think.
-
Older chips are more than enough for missiles and drones, so there’s no military advantage.
-
There is an industrial advantage in things like datacentres and big data analysis, but older chips can do these things if you put enough of them together and give them enough electricity.
Bleeding edge chips shine in consumer electronics, but WW3 isn’t going to start over whether Huawei Mate 69 Pro or Samsung S42+ is superior.
it’s not the bleeding edge chips; it’s the united states being excluded from the in-group that is the bellweather.
