Yes it has, you just don't see it as in the UK we are already in the top. China 40-50 years ago was vastly different as to what it is now, same goes for a multitude of others, the bigger picture is we are moving forward but slowly.

Again the export of technology to China has some understandable reasoning, but it is also going to affect production of many other innocent use products which many readers here will either own or plan to own in the near future, and are not going to be able to buy. I expect we might see power supplies particularly badly affected by this as far as I'm aware they are nearly all made in China.

Microchips are the new "oil" chaps. This is what you are seeing happen. US plans to be the "chip Saudi Arabia" to secure their future.
Saudi really screwed up by planning an economy around tourism and low tax versus something actually productive.
Clear as day, this is why Intel has presence in Israel (versus the anti Semitic reasons some folk come up with) so that Middle East chip fab presence is in a controlled territory.

That might be the plan, but there is a big difference between control of resources and control of knowledge.
Taiwan gets invaded -> People get displaced -> America offers tasty relocation packages.

That rather assumes China doesn't already have a list of critical knowledge holders, and their family members.
Controlling knowledge is difficult.
Precisely why we need a good war to rebalance the world power and wealth.
Less chips in cars please. Less chips in most things ideally.
No sane person wants a War it will not be pretty.
Ah, you're thinking emotionally not logically. The balance of power has shifted too far in one direction. We need a war to rebalance and cast off afresh.
When Nuclear weapons are a possibility logic obviously isn’t coming into the equation. War is bad m’kay.

Good point, Spock.
Tbf Nuclear weapons are the only reason why we haven't continued the cycle of epic war after epic war. It is probably the sole root cause of over population, the demand for globalisation, consumerism etc...
I never said anything about space war, that is different entirely.Good point, Spock.
Ah I see one is trolling.
Critical thinking isn't your strong point, is it?
Tbf it’s only morons that troll… allegedlyCritical thinking isn't your strong point, is it?
