Maybe Russia or Japan or some other nation will be next...<p>And who knows? Maybe they already have them...<p>Whatever the case, I think <i>hardware diversity is a good thing, not a bad thing</i>...
If they can make one 7nm chip, they can make billions of them.<p>And Intel is having trouble making 7nm chips.<p>The US ban on selling chips to China will come back to bite them when the new Chinese chip-makers undercut US manufacturers and put them out of business. (As happened with US textiles, paper, tools, and even cars where outsourcing killed all of those industries.)<p>Those US semiconductor manufacturers could have had a long and rich life supplying chips to China. Instead China will make their own chips, and the US chip makers will slowly go broke.
