    when discussing when China could catch up to the US in the semiconductor race.

    BS. Untied states are not competitive at all for a long time. They should say China is catching up with Taiwan.

    And it’s not a race, there’s no finish line, improvements have been happening for 50 years now and can continue for decades.

      That’s just the imperialists telling on themselves. They don’t consider what is Taiwan’s as Taiwan’s, but as being made exclusively for the US’ benefit.

          Depends on who is talking, could be untied states if it’s Russia talking, could be China if Australia talking, could be Russia if it’s one of the countries invaded recently in the last 10 years.

          Just try replacing “empire” with “bully that takes things against the will of its owners” and suddenly you have several options. Sometimes it’s land like Russia, sometimes it’s sea like China and sometimes it’s Venezuelan oil ships like untied states

      That’s not true, the reason why Taiwan is so far ahead is because of the US and the contributions from LLNL. That’s part of how they’ve been able to force ASML to not sell to China.

        I’m going to paraphrase you.

        Taiwan/ASMC is advanced because usa wants Taiwan to be advanced in detriment of usa being advanced, and no other country in the world is helping Taiwan, specially Netherlands.
