Hey, look at that! The Chinese are imitating twenty-year old USAF tech!
We better be careful or they’re going to copy the 1997 Ford Ranger!
Underestimate Chinese tech at your own peril. :)
They own the most powerful computer in the world, and they also tape out and manufacture the bulk of the technology we Americans consume.
I expect the greatest espionage effort in history was creating inexpensive manufacturing for American high-tech and giving their engineers access to our intellectual property.
It’s very Sun Tzu - They have effectively used our capitalism against us, knowing full well we’d gladly hand the keys to our kingdom over to them if they just produced our tech cheaper.
