Will China catch or surpass US in technology?
.
TBT0WdeySks
I think odds are high China would surpass US in technology
But
I think US will lead in "applications" of new technologies, phantasy prospers in free societies
That is why US should keep business as usual

Re: Will China catch or surpass US in technology ?
China is ahead of the US in technology that spies on it citizens as a form of social control. In the beginnings of Silicon valley a huge incentive was given to people with expertise in making semi conductors. They were offered stock options for when the company would go public that would make them instant millionaires when those option were exercised. However the best people would have a pick of companies to work for. If a given company was more sure to get to the point it would go public they would get the employees.Heracleum Persicum wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 3:08 am .

In China the government gives semiconductor start ups the money to start up. 100's of Millions of dollars of it. And the Chinese semiconductor companies have all gone broke. So their is no incentive for very smart people to take a chance on Chinese semiconductor companies..
SO 100;s of millions lost and nothing to show for it.
What a disaster !! What a disaster !!

West, America, doing this long before China
Only difference is :
America says "don't worry, be happy" we the good guys (meaning we dont misuse it, which not true at all)
Now that China TOO doing same, finger pointing is on
nations would be naive not use the technology .. In UK, Canada, India etc, everywhere
As born in Iran, crossing borders, immigration officers asked many questions .. now, we go through immigration with Zero question asked, smooth
Reason is, "They" know everything .. Credit cards #s are given to Airlines, hotels , restaurants .. car licenses are scanned on highway and toll boots, google timeline sends me every months where I have been with time and picture ..
Not sure Chinese are as advanced yet

That was modus operandi 40 yrs ago when a FAB cost $ 200 m .. now FAB cost $ 3-5 Billion
That is why US semi not leading as much as before , too risky investment for Joe .. Joe rather invests in Twitter and faceBook
Ever thought why Elon Musk bought "Twitter" shares and not started a Semi company ? If he who is top techi and worth $ 200+ Billion does not invest in Semi but in Twitter, who would ? Chinese government would
China can buy any talent "from Taiwan" , which they are doing
China hires top semi talent from Taiwan and rewards them high
Semi design (which all US Semi companies do) is not the key , the FAB being able to manufacture it with the yield (which dictates the price of the chip) is the make or brake
"Advanced Semiconductor Materials Lithography" is the killer technology

Challenge for China is not Semi but Semi making equipment, Chinese are now trying to compete in Semi making equipment, competing with Applied Materials, ASML

Designing leading edge Processor Semi not what Chinese lack .. but .. manufacturing it (with acceptable yield) is what Chinese not yet can do without Western equipment
Huawei processor Kirin 9000, state-of-the-art circuit system, with 5 nm process .. was being produced by Samsung
US stopped that
To beat US in Semi, China must catch up with US in Semi manufacturing equipment , Applied Materials , Lam Research Corporation , KLA Corporation , Advanced Semiconductor Materials Lithography

COVID-19 in Iran: Coronavirus outbreak ... and impact
The Islamic Republic of Iran was the first Middle East country to report a death due to coronavirus.
Iran was the first ME country to have a death from the CCP virus? How is that possible? China far from Iran HP. Do you think bats from China flew to Iran on vacation and didn't social distance when they got there because they partied too much?? A lot of mad mullahs died from the CCP virus as well. Do you think maybe they were going out with the bats to party?
If so, these are devil bats trying to corrupt the pure godly mad mullahs of Qum.

U.S. sanctions could impede Iran’s access to coronavirus vaccines, experts say
U.S. economic sanctions on Iran could impede its access to coronavirus vaccines, business and financial analysts say
“The Trump administration has deliberately failed to provide the kind of clarity and guidance that would be necessary to allow financial institutions that contain Iranian accounts” to allow Iran “use of its own money for making these purchases,” said Esfandyar Batmanghelidj, founder and publisher of Bourse & Bazaar, a media company supporting business diplomacy between Europe and Iran.
Health Ministry spokeswoman Sima Sadat Lari told state television last month that Iran’s initial Covax payment to ensure participation had been held up. “Our country’s prepayment to participate in Covax is underway, but due to the cowardly sanctions of the Americans and the problems in the transfer of currency, this has not happened yet,”
a “culture of over-compliance and a culture of fear” means that “foreign banks don’t know how to or don’t want to handle Iranian money, even for permissible trade,” Batmanghelidj said. Beyond these legal concerns, he said, financial firms and other businesses are hesitant to work with Iran “because it can take two or three times as long” to conduct a transaction because of bureaucratic hurdles.
Trump told all companies not to deal with Iran or be fined
Ayatollah said F.U and ordered to make home made Vaccines
China and Russia were first to send vaccines to Iran
Now Iran vaccine exporter

Re: Will China catch or surpass US in technology ?
They were bio labs in Ukraine. I did not know Ukraine was part of china. The CCP claims that it discovered Iran as well. Is Iran part of China? That would explain why Iran got the CCP virus so early. People in other countries must be very afraid of Iran money. Iran should tell them that they should be afraid of American money since much of it is printed in Iran.Heracleum Persicum wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 3:58 amDoc wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 3:09 amYou mean how many people in the US died due to the CCP virus because the CCP has such technologically advanced high security labs to contain such deadly viruses.

.Xiaomi battles to reinvent itself as China’s Apple
“Xiaomi is on three racing tracks, smartphone, internet of things and EV, all with challenges there from big existing players,” said Ivan Lam, a smartphone analyst at Counterpoint Research in Hong Kong. “But Xiaomi is insisting on having it all. It’s going to be very challenging.”
..
Xiaomi’s biggest hurdle to realising its goals of overtaking Apple and Samsung is convincing consumers of its high-end pedigree.
..
Xiaomi’s 12 series phones, released in March and costing $749 for the most basic version, are designed to compete with Apple’s $799 iPhone 13.
..
“Being able to create brand power for Chinese brands is hard, very few have done it,” the former executive said. “[But Lei] is extremely charismatic, he has a firm conviction in what he thinks is right . . . I wouldn’t be surprised if they managed to pull this off.”

Under Xi, PR China seems to be returning to a type of command economy.
These is no better way to stifle innovation than a command economy.
Note that TSMC, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Limited,
originated and is based in Taiwan - a democracy, not PR China.
Anyways, form the West and Japan's point of view, Xi may prove to be yet another Chinese [red] emperor who, once again, snatches defeat from the jaws of the dragon of victory.

TSMC is a giant FAB .. all TSMC semi making equipments (and material) are American, Dutch, Japanese, European
True, Taiwan Chinese (and Koreans) were early technologist in SV in 1980's but now make or brake semi technology is in those state of the art fabrication "equipment".
My guess is, am sure, China now will try to make own and compete with Tokyo Electron Limited, Applied Materials, Dutch ASML, Lam Research Corporation, KLA Corporation, SCREEN Holdings ... all these company equipments are on "US munition list" and export restricted

In yet another realm of US-China rivalry, both superpowers are treating the emerging metaverse as a contested military domain.
Moreover, there are questions about whether metaverses will promote certain morality biases in simulating reality. As with AI, stakeholders in developing metaverse technology may imprint their biases into the technology, producing a virtual reality that amplifies social, political and ethnic inequalities, which could potentially become more embedded as metaverse ecosystems mature and the line between the virtual and real steadily blurs.
Metaverses can also be designed to reflect national values and ideals, with states designing metaverses that reflect their own policies and cultures in terms of design and simulation.

Reminds me of the following outcome of the first British expedition to China - the Macartney Mission of 1793.Heracleum Persicum wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 6:37 pm .
US has a tech edge
but China believes it is culturally superior
Furthermore,Our Celestial Empire possesses all things in prolific abundance and lacks no product within its borders.
There is therefore no need to import the manufactures of outside barbarians in exchange for our own produce.
— Qianlong Emperor, Second Edict to King George III of Great Britain, 1793,
Of course, the British returned, with guns and cannons, powered by Chinese-invented gunpowder.Emperor Qianlong's letter's continuing reference to all Europeans as "barbarians", his assumption of all nations of the earth as being subordinate to China, and his final words commanding King George III to "...Tremblingly obey and show no negligence!" used the standard imperial sign off as if the king were a Chinese subject.
The Chinese response. The "Boxers" who believed that "magic" potions would make them immune to bullets.
Well, one does not have to be a soldier or medical doctor to figure out how that turned out - the "Unequal Treaties" and the Opium Wars.
So the current cognitive dissonance between the PR China belief in "moral" and other superiority versus actual history expresses itself in histrionic overreaction to any perceived slight, no matter how minor, by a foreign individual, corporation, or nation.
Anyways, it is a bit ironic that the PR China, from Deng Xiao Ping onwards, has purchased, copied, and stolen all kinds of Western and Japanese technology to advance.
