The shares of the Chinese chip foundry SMIC fell after it became clear that it is not the one making modern 5nm processors for Huawei. After the 7nm scare, the new 5nm Huawei chip doesn't come from mainland China, either.https://www.notebookcheck.net/New-5nm-Huawei-laptop-processor-is-again-Taiwan-s-TSMC-chip-foundry-affair.789685.0.html
Good news - Huawei is already 2 generations behind Apple SoC.
This will make the pseudo-communists in China turn their asses around faster, because... they are falling further and further behind the West technologically and cannot withstand global competition. And this will require self-destruction from pseudo-communist swindlers - because advanced human capital will have to be created from schools, which will lead to an inevitable revolution. What the West needed.
The key task of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and the rest of the little things is to destroy the remnants of civil society in the West faster than they themselves sink into oblivion.
So far they are doing everything successfully. They are not trying to catch up with the West - they are destroying the West so that it becomes more like them, i.e. to the cesspool.
Remember the recent speech of the idiot-"professor" that the West does not need scientists and engineers? He supposedly needs nannies and social workers. What should students not study STEMs? It's interesting to see where he gets his funding from...
Such useful "idiots" very successfully play in favor of the degradation of human capital in the West.
Sadly, not yet available globally.
