The information War enters a new chapter.

Yeah, for better or for worse... it remains to be seen.

I wonder who will win what at the end. If there'll ever be an end...

There is no end to this... China may never be at par (at least maybe in short to medium term) but it surely is making itself trying to be independent from the west (which for me is a wise move).

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Forcing a state-sponsored (at least, favoured) company, with a huge domestic revenue and an already impressive IP of communications technology to 'adapt' even more might be counter-productive in the long run. Watch SMIC become a monster...

Sure, China has a lot of IP issues at the moment and if they sincerely want to make this world a better place not just for their citizens but for the world altogether, then they seriously need to do more flexing of muscles to fix their tarnished image. The west should also stop portraying China as the great evil as I think China is only doing what they think is needed for their motherland to survive and thrive (to be fair, all sovereign nation will act this way - just like the great west - so isn't that unfair to deny them such when the west did or has been doing the same thing)... yes, the west had these kind of times dating back a hundred years ago or more. IP issues are not just an issue with China, it's just that now it is their time to shine (or shame depends on the context). The west had their share in the history already.

Many in the west probably would brush it off as nothing. In reality, this would create a huge silicon power independent of western tech in the long run. I can’t think of any long term consequences yet. At the very least it means humanity as a whole is getting more choices

Not a matter of "if" but a matter of "when". Indeed more choices for everyone but the west will do anything not to be dislodged from its position. China is really a threat in all fronts - for better or for worse. West's demolition in all fronts won't kill them, it will only make them stronger. China can be like Japan or Korea then but now are great powerhouses. Remember, Japan used to be the west's great enemy.

He was explaining the article to you, yes. It seems futile though, I'm guessing?

If it's even a goal of China to become like South Korea or Japan. Many people are still missing the point that China is a totalitarian country. I don't think they will be real allies with anyone until this fundamentally changes. And they will not do anything that might hurt their power, even if the rest of the world is pushing them in the opposite direction. If you're talking 50-100 years in the future after a big revolution, maybe.

i see it like a territorial war soon as China will never recognize Taiwan as independent state; they clearly stated that will do anything for reunification...
