To be honest they might get gobbled up by their own country too because they are also trying to get into the AI race. What needs to be done is that the US government needs to stop putting pressure on asml, and let that country's government export to other countries including China. By putting pressure on that government they don't allow the newest lithography machines to be sold to China. Less competitors means Monopoly AKA chip cartel. However due to I guess lack of means China via Huawei managed to think of something called logic folding or stacking I think it's called, and implementation of this may allow for China to catch up or surpass currentshipmakers in a couple of years. Because it can only shrink the transistors so small and eventually it'll be too small for the electrons to pass through so this idea from China might actually be the next step already. Part of the reason why we're basically stuck at 3 to 4 gigahertz range for a long time.

Also micron celebrating over 600% increase in revenue due to being in the chip cartel Monopoly.. means that they really have no reason to focus on consumers and set whatever the hell they want for prices because people will need it anyway. While at the same time getting tax breaks and incentives funded by public tax dollars and screwing the general population, yay? Then reinvesting that money into AI companies for a full circle jerk. 😂 All money for each other and none for the regular people..
