Raw LLM Responses

That's one of the many strategies linked in this [756 page US gov report](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.nscai.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Full-Report-Digital-1.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjziO2h8d_vAhWY7KQKHRpWCIUQFjAAegQIBRAC&usg=AOvVaw2oifNUy95xffQkzvBcgOQT) the goal being to keep China at least 2 generations behind in semiconductor technology which would render its tech industry non competitive until they can figure out the manufacturing technology needed themselves something which is very complex to do entirely inhouse. For reference Taiwan chip industry has over 700 suppliers all over the globe which provide all the resources and advanced machinery needed to build these foundries. Some of these suppliers also hold a monopoly on their specific technology of expertise and are the only ones in the market that can provide with it. ASML (Netherlands) being a clear example. Their photolithography technology is protected by intellectual property rights and took decades of research to develop. Japanese companies Shin-Etsu, Sumitomo and T.O.K are similar examples. It will be for China to homegrown this entire supply chain and its respective tech a tall order and will require quite some time. The CCP has being trying hard since 2014 to accelerate the process but even with the help of China's most prestigious universities and conspicuous amount of money, most projects have largely failed at giving any results. https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/12/14/china-technology-sanctions-huawei-chips-semiconductors/ https://scmp.com/tech/article/3105156/chinas-semiconductor-quest-likely-fail-leaving-rapprochement-us-only-way-out https://www.caixinglobal.com/2021-03-02/four-things-to-know-about-chinas-185-billion-failed-chip-champ-101668910.html
