Taiwan and China thread.

You need to import the right people though. Little point importing people who only take from the system.

Pretty messed up how every country has built themselves on a system that requires endless population growth, then pushed for a lifestyle that flies in the face of it.
 
If China is going to keep sabotaging our infrastructure and pretending otherwise then the only solution will be to ban their ships from going near any cables.
 
China knows all too well about death by thousand cuts. One vessel can undo months/years of infrastructure project. It would be interesting to see how much redundancy there is installed with the subsea cables. Just like the Houthi attack cost vs defence cost, taking out cables isn't sustainable for Europe.

Whats with Chinese ships constantly cutting undersea cables? It keeps happening..

It's an easy "We accidentally dragged our anchor and didn't know there was a cable underneath" excuse.. something that any country can do for any motive.. in the Atlantic or pacific regions.

It could be clear that infrastructure threats are to be treated as attacks on the countries. That costs are levied back on the boat owners including confiscation of property to pay for the damage..

The boat may not be worth as much, these undersea cables can cost hundreds of millions or billions to build. I remember reading some years ago about a new cable that was run from Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii and it cost $1 billion

Looks like Hauwei wil be stuck on old tech for a while longer. SMIC is struggling with yields. They are struggling with 7nm yields already and while they claim they can produce 5nm, those yields are even worse and makes it uneconomical. The core of these issues are due to machinery - SMIC is stuck with old machinery that makes producing advanced nodes difficult

The article states SMIC's machinery is two generations behind what TSMC has access to, and SMIC is trying to use these old machines to make 5nm and 3nm but the yields are awful. SMIC says it's working on getting new machines to improve yields so that they can do mass production of 5nm in 2026. The CCP continues to provide massive sums of money to SMIC in the hopes it can develop these new machines

SMIC To Remain On The 7nm Lithography Until At Least 2026, Limiting Huawei’s Advancement, Despite Receiving A Near-Unlimited Budget From The Government

Receiving a hefty budget from the government was not sufficient for SMIC to introduce advanced lithography, limiting Huawei’s options
