He was very adamant that this is the case, but he’s not some dipshit who gets all his info from reactionary sources, so I’m wondering where he got that specific number from. Anyone heard of it? The “60 years behind” thing I mean?

This is funny because China just jumped like, what, 10, 20 years forward in chip design to the surprise of the entire rest of the world?

The only thing I can think of is semiconductor chips. They fucked up some time ago with privatization and the consequences were that they were now severely behind Taiwan. Recently they e made some interesting progress but not enough to disrupt the race.

Im not sure if you heard but they found a Chinese made bitcoin miner on a 7nm node, the Chinese govrrment apparently just offered the engineers at nivida and amd very generous compensation packages like way back in 2014 and I think they are like 2 years behind the west now on silicon tech, another poster was saying that cpu and node shirkage for cpu stalled out for a bit since cringo currency was making money hand over fist, they shifted internally engineers to make gpus better at mining.

China: high speed trains, low-cost electric cars with machine-swappable batteries, fusion reactors

The West: fraudulent app startups, advanced world-leading rent seeking techniques, planes that fall out of the sky and kill their pilots
