The ban literally supercharged Huawei’s innovation instead of ending it. And since China has access to 7nm chips now, they can absolutely survive even a full chip ban.
at 5nm already https://asiatimes.com/2024/04/china-to-make-5nm-chips-with-saqp-process/
What’s even more exciting is that China is actively pushing development of alternative substrates such as photonic chips. These could be a real game changer and make silicon based chips look like vacuum tubes.
5nm is still not in mass production unlike 7nm so I didn’t mention it.
Fair, but at this point I don’t think it’ll take long. I fully expect China to catch up to the latest and greatest within a couple of years now that the process started.
what an incredible fumble. I feel like it’s fairly self-evident that if you’re trying to curtail innovation in a foreign adversary, you have to absolutely strangle it in the cradle or it just won’t take, especially when it is actively in China’s best interests to build self-sufficent tech industry. Like the article said it hurt Huawei in the short term, but only inasmuch as it forced them to rip the bandaid off. We saw this with the sanctions on Russia too, where hostility from western economies, while painful, has only made it easier to build an economy that is much more resilient to outside pressure.
The US took their shots, failed, and won’t have the chance to try again
The best thing about all this is that US seems to be absolutely incapable of learning from past mistakes, and they just keep doubling down on their failed strategies.
