    quick TLDR: china has been investing heavily in advanced semiconductors for the last decade, and spawned a couple of companies making dram and nand flash.

    they have been catching up scary quick to western manufacturers and might try to use the ai shortage as opportunity to wedge themselves into the global market by flooding the market with cheap memory. however their manufacturing capacity is doubtful and lacking atm, and are still catching up to the latest tech.

    other stuff about how they poached talent, spied on the west and bought patents to get a headstart, how the west tried and failed to stop it and their laughable excuses. how china is still trying to crack euv and make the state of the art cpus and gpus. and a bit more.

    (and no, their ram is unlikely to be backdoored)
