China cracks advanced microchip technology in blow to Western sanctions

[Xolodno]

China has cracked a microchip design method previously only mastered by the West, in a challenge that could undermine sanctions.

Patent filings reveal that Huawei has made advances in a crucial method of chip manufacture, raising the prospect that the company could eventually start making some of the smallest and most powerful microchips by itself.

Such a development would allow Beijing to skirt Western sanctions. Washington, Brussels and London are currently all blocking access to advanced Western-made computer chips in China over fears the Communist nation could develop new military capabilities beyond the power of Western armies to resist.

1. Not a bit surprising to me; they are very clever.

I wonder if China is really so immature, as a people and a nation, that they want to rule the world?

We didn't win WWII with our brilliance or our superior morale or equipment. We beat the Germans, Japanese and Italians on the floors of our factories and in our shipyards, greasing the machinery with Soviet blood. China now has our factories and some pretty fine shipyards; maybe they think it is their turn to bring their version of Market/Communism to the rest of us.

I believe that the Chinese want to bring to fruition the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere of Japanese dreams. Old ideas die hard. The Chinese will some day make the Pacific Ocean a Chinese Pond, I think that it is inevitable. We may have a simple choice of allowing China to fulfill its dreams or destroying civilization. I am, personally, beyond caring about when we decide to burn down our homes, and I believe that through war or climate change or both we are heading full steam in that direction. Perhaps, as a species, we are just too damn aggressive for our own survival. We may end up as a side-note in the Encyclopedia Galactica. when we are gone and "Civilization" will have been a failed experiment and no one will miss us when we are gone.

2. Maybe we should send more Americans to

Our universities for free than the Chinese send to Our Universities for free.

7. 2018, eh? Wonder what back-door they used? Couldn't have been favor with a US President, right?

China this month awarded Ivanka Trump seven new trademarks across a broad collection of businesses, including books, housewares and cushions.

At around the same time, President Trump vowed to find a way to prevent a major Chinese telecommunications company from going bust, even though the company has a history of violating American limits on doing business with countries like Iran and North Korea.
