    "It’s hard work and it takes too long. China is trying to do it "

    2 years later and after China has done it, “why are the chinese taking the lead on all of this? we should be doing things more like China.”

      Sorry, I was perhaps unclear - China is and has been setting up chip foundaries regardless of the global memory prices, simply to have domestic production of those components. Production of memory modules during this period of AI ratfucking is just a happy bonus.

        Yes because they have an autonomy incentive, but “our” (as in Western capitalism) incentives is solely on profit and profit is being done, therefore we will never solve this because in fact there’s no problem. We are being mocked by all these PC parts suppliers.

          I don’t think you’re wrong, I’m just not sure how it relates to what I said.

            But they really wanted to shit on capitalism regardless of context.

            What’s weird is that capitalism should be driving others to set up fabs because it is so profitable.

              I mean fair enough I suppose. It’s almost like capitalism doesn’t quite work like how it says it does in the advertising… sigh.

          More or less, though they recently bought their way in to a domestic EUV foundry so their coveting of TSMC will likely reduce in the near future as that comes online.
