Chinese are pretty pragmatic. Even if they produce more expensive chips and memory, they are still going to focus on value. But who knows, maybe India will step up again like they did for Y2K 3 decades ago.

Ah, positive racism.

So Americans aren't pragmatic, generally?

Lol, Americans (the City upon a Hill and New Jerusalem people) are the least pragmatic people on earth.

Looking at the oligarchy and excess of the United States, no.

I said absolutely nothing about Americans in my comment so I’m a bit confused by your comment.

Unfortunately, India's focus is on everything but models. Hope I am wrong but the VCs there are now very risk free and are only investing in Snacks, Beauty and similar companies making risk free money due to growing income of population.

All the good talent moved to other countries due to this.
