Thanks.

I wonder how long the pipeline is for buying homes here, getting their kids educated in US schools, then getting first jobs in US semiconductor firms then eventually returning to Mainland China to bring back what they've learned.

I recently read a spy novel of how they shorten this process by funding poor college students and then slowly asking for increasing favors until the favor is so big that they can ask the once poor student now working at a major tech company to steal secrets or risk exposure for past "favors." Basically it sounded like a Chinese CIA operation.

It is scary because we'll not become a racist country making the mistake we did with Japanese internment camps, etc... but it would make far more sense to learn to get along than to have constant cold wars.

THREAD: The US government's new export controls are wreaking havoc on China's chip industry.


New rules around "US persons" are driving an "industry-wide decapitation."

"Every American executive and engineer working in China’s semiconductor manufacturing industry resigned yesterday, paralyzing Chinese manufacturing overnight."
