the cope in articles like this (ive also seen it from r*dditors in a couple of threads where someone brought this up) that china is still “struggling” to catch up after “years” of development is quite funny to me. like, yall were saying restricting these AI chips was going to fucking cripple china for potentially decades unless they bent the knee to the US. now you’re just saying shit like “NVIDA STILL NUMBAH 1 BABY WE DA BEST IN THE WOOOORLD CHINA STILL HASNT FULLY CAUGHT UP AFTER YEARS LOL LMAO” and it’s just like… these export restrictions started in 2022? now, i know china didnt actually start developing their own gpus and such when these export restrictions happened, there’s been many years of research and development beforehand of course, but like you can see that there’s been explosive growth in this area since these started and you’re already having to cope that they’ve “struggled for years”??? just give it up man you’re fucking cooked, maybe if you lift export restrictions you can extend nvida’s time as company that makes the most powerful GPUS in the world for some time but at this point i dont think there’s actually any stopping companies like Huwaei anymore, stop coping with shit like this and start trying to make real analysis on when the gap that’s left will close.
Indeed, the goalposts keep shifting. We transitioned from claims that China would be devastated to asserting they remain slightly behind the cutting edge. China is a command economy that’s channeling resources into this at state level. It’s obvious that they will replicate Western tech already proven feasible. Moreover, developing technology is inherently easier the second time, as foundational knowledge of the required path already exists, even if specific details might be uncertain. Finally, China can simply attract top-tier researchers from around the globe, just as the US does. If a critical bottleneck remains unsolved domestically, they can simply incentivize experts from Samsung, TSMC, or similar firms to relocate and implement solutions. The entire premise of “holding China back technologically” was absurd beyond belief. It’s incredible that people are still clinging to it in face of all evidence.

The same cope narrative as with Russia:
“Ok, so maybe China is winning…but they aren’t winning fast enough!”
