SMIC will be more than happy to satisfy the demand for advanced fighter jets and cutting-edge microprocessors if Samsung and TSMC don't have enough capacity to make up for Intel's hypothetically closed fabs. If not buying from SMIC means that US AI, supercomputers, fighter jets, drones, etc., are too expensive to be competitive in countries like India, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Brazil, Nigeria, Indonesia, and the UK, until the ashes finish rising, well, probably that will suit some people just fine. Not US legislators, though.
