I've read about it. The ChiCom nuclear missiles you're referring to were built in the 1970s. The chips under discussion are a separate issue and are not related to the nuclear missiles; they are related to satellite systems, which is an entirely different can of worms. Because they last longer in a space environment, they let the satellite perform its mission longer and reduce the total ownership cost of space systems.

THere is a world of difference between aiming a weapon and bore-sighting it to within exceptable tolerance.

Aiming the weapon, points it in a desired direction and somewhat brackets where it will strike.

Bore-sighting the weapon correctly guaruntees it will land within a desired tolerance of where it is aimed.

This allows China to specifically suppress point targets with their nuclear arsenal, rather than attempting to blanket a given area.

The net effect of this treachery is that the Chinese are able to put the fear of God into the US for 1/5 what it would have cost the USSR.
