A particularly surprising discovery is that CXMT is constructing its cleanrooms—where the actual silicon is produced—in just around 12 months, whereas the rest of the DRAM manufacturing industry typically takes 21-24 months, nearly a full year longer.

Finally, the report notes that the Chinese government is encouraging CXMT to transfer its DRAM technology IP to other Chinese DRAM manufacturers such as JHICC, Swaysure, and YTMC's subsidiary XMC. This initiative aims to alleviate memory shortages domestically before CAMT-designed DRAM enters other markets, such as the EU and possibly even the U.S.

After watching recent ram cartel investigation from gamernexus: fuck them. They got what they fucking deserve.

A smart decision which the Americans are probably not gonna make would be to nationalize Micron once they become unviable for-profit business, in order to keep the competency and ability to make RAM, which is an essential economic input these days. Instead I think they'll just let the CXMT gang buy them at that point, just like they've let that happen to so many important firms. That's unless democratic socialism has taken enough control of the US political power.

IMO the smart move would be to embargo China entirely as a result of their frequent hostile actions and attacks directly on US Democracy.

Brother. The US doesn’t need China to destroy its democracy. The US is perfectly capable of destroying its democracy itself.

You think Kamalla Harris would have destroyed democracy?

Because China promoted Donald Trump and the GOP with TikTok leading to the largest conservative shift among youth ever recorded.

Kamala Harris contributed plenty towards destroying democracy by refusing to represent a significant part of the American piblic that would typically vote D.
