> China has taken large strides in every advanced manufacturing process.
No they haven't, as in foreign companies in China have and invested in that. Not China itself. This is the big difference. So who is building these advanced manufacturing processes for them?
> I just don't see why they wouldn't eventually be able to dominate high end chip production
They've never bothered to. There's been huge corruption, lots of mismanagement, etc. Imagine a worse Intel.
> hard working people access to tools to develop technology and produce wealth.
Who says they're hard working? At least not in this sector. China has had plenty of time and resources before the sanctions and they've wasted it. They spent a staggering amount of $$$ (huge government investments), poached infinite amounts of talent and floundered it all already. Who says this will change?
China leads in 57 out of 64 technologies, up from just 3 twenty years ago. [1]
The US lost its research advantage: it was leading in 60 technologies 20 years ago, down to just 7 today.[1]
If this is in reply to China being hard working, then sorry, no. They're definitely hard working in obtaining technology. Maybe not by means you're thinking of (see e.g. Nortel, HTC or Via).
Also, compared to 20 years ago? They were less open about it. Plenty of US, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc based companies were all just fronts for actual Chinese companies. The "made in China" logo back then didn't have Western appeal. Nowadays people are much more accepting of it.
This seems to be a joke. China has 70% of the world global research share on advanced aircraft engines Seriously? Maybe in writing papers . But that does not translate to actual product.
China has 50% of electronic warfare and 45% of radar? In what planet?
Any test to see if a lot of what is going on in other countries is not published?
