“10 years behind” for chipmaking is the opposite of “10 years behind” for, I dunno, psychiatry. It’s a very centralized and complex supply chain. The fact that one can say that China is “10 years behind” there and not “30 years behind” is kinda amazing. I don’t like bureaucratic authoritarian states, but in this particular case they seem to be doing something right.
