It's still accessible to Intel and Microsoft. I don't think China is capable yet of producing equivalent goods.

On the other hand, what Google and Facebook did can be done just as well by others.

Actually, maybe China is indeed able to produce decent Intel-compatible processors. Not sure.

How much longer will it be accessible for Intel and Microsoft though? CCP does not think twice about pulling the rug on local tech giants [0]. Why would it hesitate for Intel and Microsoft? It seems like only a matter of time.

As far as chips in particular, CCP is pushing hard to make chips locally [1]. So again, just a matter of time before Intel gets replaced in China.

Is the Intel leadership being incredibly short-sighted besides of course being devoid of ethical common sense?
