Your comment is geopolitical. So I replied accordingly. Technology does not live in a bubble. What is happening is a geopolitical struggle, and when you mention the US barring Arm from Chinese companies or issues with SMIC, this is geopolitical, not purely technology and trying to restrict the discussion purely to technology would be missing the big picture (hence my comment on having a long term plan).
China is far from its peak. When Chinese GDP is 4x the US's GDP then sure, but we're far from that.
I don't understand the demographics argument. China's population is 4x the US's. Global population needs to stabilise (and is bery slowly getting there). To think that the US can simply compete with China (and India) through population growth is bonkers.
