    And with the way RISC-V is shaping up, China could arguable have state of the art embedded processors within 5 years anyway.

      I don’t know why you got bombed but people seem to heavily disregard the fact that China is upcoming for a reason.

      They are super populated meaning more manpower for lower wages, in addition, they have a very strict education system and the student also take it very seriously too. So now add the two together and you will see that they are actually progressing at a rate that’s compounded in comparison to the Western hemisphere.

      Provided that they’re currently still behind, this however is not set in stone.

      I won’t try to guess and say they will overtake the states any time soon but the chances of this happening is far greater than people would like to believe.

        Non-technical sub coupled with anti-China mindset. The thing about RISC-V is that its success doesn’t even depend on China, it’s open source hardware and a bunch of other nations and many western companies are also invested in it, making its success more or less a question of timeline.

          1.4 billion vs the US 332 million… That’s a lot of genius to be tapped vs the US.

            In a country where logic and sense are actively discouraged? And obedience encouraged? Unlikely.

              Well just compare China to the States for a second.

              China’s population exceeds 1 billion, where as the USA is closer to 300-400 million.

              Now let’s go back to exactly what you mentioned, enforcement of obedience. This strategy may not be the most ethical but you cannot discredit the fact that it’s been keeping these 1 billion plus citizens in check.

              Now let’s compare that with the USA who only has about 1/4th of China’s population. A lot of states have currently succumbed drastic increase in crime rates and murders. China barely has these kind of events anymore.

              With that said though, both sides have their ups and downs but my main point is that a lot of people don’t even know about the living conditions of Canadians, their own neighbours. This can only mean they are also ignorant of China (outside of propaganda).

            I mean, yes, that’s true. However:

            1. Illegal immigration out of China into the U.S. is at a record high.

            2. 富二代 are also buying real estate in Japan and elsewhere as the RMB continues to depreciate against major world currencies.

            These will not prevent breakthroughs from occurring but there are major headwinds for the Chinese, especially when many of their better-off citizens are looking to leave.

              I agree with you that a lot of the big players are trying to exit China. It’s a real thing that’s been occurring and even more so now with the recent demands for what was suppose to be water under the bridge, by the CCP.

              In terms of the new and upcoming geniuses and/or proteges though, that may not be the case, yet.
