Selling China subpar chips will not make it dependent on the United States but instead spur it to produce more and better ones
The United States is fighting two chip wars against China. One involves playing dirty, which it has already lost, though it doesn’t know it yet. The other, more legitimate, remains to be seen.
It depends on whether America can maintain its longstanding tech innovation and leadership. But with Donald Trump at the helm with his weird and often incomprehensible “strategies” – from cuts and firings in government-funded basic research to direct interference in the tech sector – things don’t look good.
The dirty chip war essentially tries to trip China over with export restrictions, bullying of allies from selling advanced tech, and sanctioning of Chinese tech firms, which often includes targeting their non-Chinese suppliers as well. It was started by Donald Trump 1.0, intensified under Joe Biden, but now somewhat moderated under Trump 2.0.
