      they are.

      the conventional wisdom in chip making says that it takes approximately 8 years between feature sizes and china is 3 delta’s away.

      however, that 8 year window includes barriers that china doesn’t have to contend w; so if anyone can shrink the 8 year red brick wall, it’ll be china.

        Huh. Cool. Makes me wonder if they actually can get to intermediate socialism before 2049.

          the communism is clearly better than the socialism, so they should stay where they are instead of u-turning.

            Communism is the goal. Right now they are, by their own admission, in the primary stage of socialism with plans to advance to the intermediate stage at 2049. Obviously they’re not in the communist mode of production right now.
