China is definitely going to replace the US as the next empire if they play their cards right. It just sucks that the population is so socially oppressed to the point it may break them if they encounter an adverse phenomenon they can’t adapt to.

Sanctions were never supposed to stop china’s semiconductor industry. They were to stop/slow down China from acquiring chips short term. This is quite a strawman argument.

The moment Arm decided it should follow the Huawei ban, China started to invest in their own silicon at a staggering rate. After all, Apple already proved you can start a CPU design from scratch and be fine while Risc-V already offered a royalty free architecture to base their work off.
I know GamersNexus has also covered Chinese CPUs based on x86. I forget the details, maybe AMD let them license their IP?
