But it’s not “yellow people,” we also don’t sell that tech to Russia, and they certainly aren’t “yellow,” and Korea and Taiwan are of the same general ethnic group as China, and they lead the world in chip manufacturing.
There’s absolutely nothing racist going on here, it’s just that everyone involved in core chip-making tech doesn’t trust China. That’s it, it’s pretty simple. And China has earned that reputation by stealing IP from other countries, supporting repressive regimes (e.g. N. Korea), allying with aggressors (e.g. Russia), and bullying smaller countries (e.g. Taiwan, Philippines, etc).
It’s not the Chinese people that anyone is worried about, it’s the government of China. It really is that simple.
I’m usually one to attack the “china bad” crowd but the OP isn’t wrong unfortunately.
It requires immense connections throughout the world (namely Netherlands for etching and USA for schematics).
The argument is honestly “the yellow people are so disliked via western influence that the other white counties won’t sell them tech to make chips”
Chips = military power; and clearly the west doesn’t like the idea of helping China. Is that right? Nah. Was OP being racist? I don’t think so tbh.
