Faster changing is a by-product of smartphones having small battery's with short battery life being so bad in the first place a smartphone needs too be changed more than once in a single day

A bigger battery and better processor that is more power efficient would fix this issue

China without Western tech is back straight to dynasty years. China has no technology same as Russians, you like it or not :) Communism is stagnations best friend :) that's why West been kicking east ass for many centuries :)

        IpsDisplay, 27 Jan 2023Ahh politics All I know is China isn't innocent ... moreif im going to choose between totalitarian government or a democracy with flaws, i'd choose democracy with flaws everytime.

          I just feel like they are trying to help china to innovate something good and become independent in semiconductor.
          Or maybe they want to push riscv or whatever its called .

            👌👍

                  This because you assume Chinese products were bad

                  Chinese products in smartphone is now beating korean and american. Look at the charging speed, the korean & American can only fight back with black campaign. Look at how many comment keep coming up in here to say fast charging is bad.

                  The only reason USA play dirty because it lost.
                  And this chip alliance will make us as the customer to lose.

                    Observer1, 27 Jan 2023That's correct but Asia has a population of around 4.7... moreWhat does that even mean???
                    The entire planet's population is around 8 billion, of which less than 2bil. live in functioning, proper democracies. Does that mean that democracy is somehow irrelevant?

                    Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are full democracies (based on the latest "Democracy Index" research) - free, functioning, prosperous. Denying that plays into the same ridiculous, generalizing, orientalist rhetoric that has been pushed for decades.
                    If anything, democracy is more at danger in the West. Look at the US and the SCOTUS limiting basic human rights (abortion), look at Sweden, France, and Italy and their saddening right-wing descent.
                    In American-speak, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are no less Western than, say, France, or Canada. In their constitutions, in their industrialized development. and so on.

                    I'll be the first to call out copyright infringement and human rights issues in China, but don't use China to draw sweeping, generalizing conclusions. Asia has an issue with democracy, but that doesn't mean there aren't democracies in it. Let's not act like the entirety of Europe is democratic - look at the Balkans, or Eastern Europe as an example.

                          Less competition, bad for us! good for Intel, Samsung, TSMC.etc ¨The more i know people, the more I love my dog¨

                            In technology that is not smartphones
                            it be a lot easier

                            If they dubble down on lowering pricing yeah they win

                            There processors are rather common in generic tv box's tablets netbooks

                            The Chinese allwinner processors are rather common in them Often 28n and 32bit but the newer ones are getting a lot better and are 64bit

                            Getting back too smartphones
                            The Chinese unisoc processor are already getting put into a lot of smartphones and selling well

                            Mostly the power effectively is main problem with them and some compatibility issues with some apps is main problem with them

                              (5% defect... As good as TSMC & Samsung)
                              The chinese can also made the 14nm & 12nm, but I don't know the success rate.

                              The thing is, because the fight only mention the smartphone, we're all too focused on the smartphone.

                              The real fight is in car, train, aeroplane, CE (Consumer electronic) such as TV, Refrigerator, Washing Machine..... The chinese can produce all of the chip for this without problem.

                              Thus,
                              if the blocade work,
                              the chinese will only have a stepback in smartphone.
                              they're smartphone will use 12nm or 14nm chip.

                              but in all other things,
                              the usa and their ally will lost big time.

                                hmm, 27 Jan 2023Price war is a seeable future but i don't think China ... moreThe Chinese are already making and manufacturering there own processors the manufacturering costs are cheaper for the them

                                My only worry is taxs and input fees the standard anti consumer practice
                                as too why we can never have good stuff

                                The west is only blocking cutting edge technology from China and some stuff needed for manufacturing equipment

                                If the Chinese can mess production and produce chips even bad ones cheap enough I think they still win

                                As low as the Chinese completely win on pricing being clearly much cheaper

                                Then I think the Chinese will win

                                  The Chinese are not good either all big company are bad some more than others

                                        Raw materials restriction, chips machine restriction, access to software restriction/limitation etc etc.
                                        Unless some meteorite dropped just into China and sparks a new energy race specially to them to lead (like Wakanda), US has used several upper hands; above and under table means.
