    A common ‘reassurance’ proffered by Clintonian & Bushite globalizers as America de-industrialized was that the US would still dominate innovation & tech. That was absurd, if not racist, as the latter have always followed production. And so now we see THIS: https://www.ft.com/...

    'The build-up in China's supercomputing program, which dates back more than two decades, has led to a “stunning situation” where the country now leads the world' https://www.ft.com/...

    US rushes to catch up with China in supercomputer race https://www.ft.com/... Hear the situation is far worse than this article portrays, that the key components are all based on western technology, and these systems are being used to develop advanced weapons

    “A previous Chinese effort to break the exascale barrier had relied on technology from US chipmaker AMD, leaving it vulnerable to US trade restrictions. In contrast, its current two exascale systems are based on domestic chip designs.” https://www.ft.com/...

    “China has not officially disclosed that it has two exascale systems. But their existence was confirmed late last year when scientific research run using the machines was entered for the Gordon Bell prize” https://www.ft.com/...
