The ban literally supercharged Huawei’s innovation instead of ending it. And since China has access to 7nm chips now, they can absolutely survive even a full chip ban.
What’s even more exciting is that China is actively pushing development of alternative substrates such as photonic chips. These could be a real game changer and make silicon based chips look like vacuum tubes.
Fair, but at this point I don’t think it’ll take long. I fully expect China to catch up to the latest and greatest within a couple of years now that the process started.

at 5nm already https://asiatimes.com/2024/04/china-to-make-5nm-chips-with-saqp-process/

5nm is still not in mass production unlike 7nm so I didn’t mention it.
