And here I thought all these components were manufactured and assembled entirely in China already. What's stopping a Chinese company from developing a better chip than Ryzen or Tegra? Not enough R&D funding?
Nothing is stopping a Chinese company from making their own GPU/CPUs (which they are)- it will just take years, if not decades, to reach feature parity. That's not even considering how much work China needs to do to be able to tap out chips at 32, 14, and 12nm
China seems pretty good at 'obtaining' the info they need to give them a head start, plus they're a manufacturing powerhouse with a ruthless determination to 'get stuff done'.
They also don't face commercial pressure to release stuff slowly. Sure it'll take them some time, but 'decades' seems to me to underestimate their capabilities.
The only thing that China can currently fab on a matching node are display panels.
Their IC nodes are still stuck on 28nm and even that is pushing it.
SSC also put a hold on building a 7nm node fab in China.
