Also semiconductor is very complicated manufacturing process not only invovles Taiwan but vendors all over the world, like the light source of EUV is provided by Cymer based in U.S. I don't think China taking over Taiwan would mean they can transfer whatever is there into something productive in any short time as because of supply chain problem. Note that many SMIC's (basically China's TSMC) leadership are actually from TSMC already[2].

The semiconductor doesn't play significant factor here. It only becomes hot topics in past few years because of TSMC's lead on its process, but really doesn't have any direct relationships.

In other words, current situation is a result of U.S. "Asia-Pacific Rebalance" strategy and military deployment over the first island chain [2] that China wanted the island regardless of TSMC.

Recent years efforts from these politicians make me believe we are heading towards the direction that one day it's not just certain dimensions but fully isolated.

Name one Chinese EV you can buy in U.S.

Name one U.S. EV you can buy in China

Now we want to do the same efforts for llm, not even allow to download to run locally that is specifically from China, and running llm doesn't even need Internet.

Honestly I've never heard such legislation in any other country, not even north korea or iran.

I can understand ban export, but banning import? Seriously? Even Kim Jong Un is riding with Mercedes.

Today we are even more closed than CCP, what a joke. These elites'/attorney politicians just can't stop their arrogant attitude towards a non-western country's achievement. This is just going to destroy the industry at U.S.

We have seen examples of EV and Drones already.

Arrogance is the biggest enemy of U.S., not China.

Sure sure that censorship is a problem, but that's a political background everyone knows, while none of the researchers of deepseek can do much about it, and literally do people think Chinese people like to put more efforts to censor LLM output?

Associate researchers with CCP without any evidence and being ignorant to their achievement is really insulting to deepseek researchers' hardworks.

people are just more focusing on the political side of it

2. Judges in China tend to ask plantiff to negotiate with defendant instead of going through a whole lawsuit process for civil cases.

So can I say Tesla will be controlled by CCP as well?

> Rust would have prevented this incident irks me.

That's exactly everyone's point.

and

> Think of… an innocent buggy unwrap() call if the code actually used Rust.

Sure but would you not just ban usages of unwrap with static lint for a kernel program?

This is more or less like clickbait to me.
