      Racism mostly, they genuinely didn’t think that Chinese would be smart enough to replicate western tech without the guidance of enlightened westoids.

    Gonna be real funny when China inevitably leapfrogs western GPUs and CPUs, but such hardware will be unobtainable for western consumers due to protectionist sanctions.

    Will popular consensus be to just deny the reality of superior Chinese tech and continue in their rabid sinophobia, or will g*mers turn on western politicians gatekeeping them from higher frame rates?

    Historians may mark the date of the true beginning of the end of western civilization as the upload date of a Gamers Nexus review of a Chinese gaming PC running Cyberpunk 2077 @ native 8k 240fps with raytracing enabled.
