China was stealing enough tech to do that. Also, self sufficiency was already a long term strategic goal, thus the tech stealing. It forces the issue, but hardly changes the calculus.

Previous it is a cherry-on-top, now self sufficiency is their life line. A day and night difference.

But I guess those days will arrive no matter what, as semiconductor ended its exponential growth era, the West can't have an edge forever, no matter how hard they try.

That's the same line they used on the US, Germany, and Japan when each was bootstrapping their high skill economy.
