And this is exactly what many Americans cannot admit to themselves. China is not stealing American research they are inventing stuff.

They can invent it. They can build it. And it is only a matter of them before they can scale that last barrier of American hegemony- market it.

And at some point we'll see very capable chips coming out of China: Huawei, Baidu and Alibaba already have some stuff. I think it's only a matter of time before they come up with some AI accelerator doing 80% of the job at 20% of the price.
