Pushing the Chinese tech giants like Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu to work and grow this platform is the opposite of what these sanctions intend to achieve. What an own goal!
Globalization and collaboration making a huge difference in pace of the progress. Segregation and compartmentalization are very bad for everyone in a long run.
Another analogy: Incorporating cancer cells into the body rather than sanctioning their growth, is a sure path to death.
this is not a directly equate China to cancer, especially the Chinese people to cancer. That's clearly incorrect. however, I do think it is correct to expect our trading partners to eventually establish trust with each other, on the geopolitical sphere, and if that fails to appear, it makes sense to diversify our strategic resources and partnerships
The Chinese people are fine. You can see some great projects on GitHub for example. I hear Shenzen is something special.
The CCP is the problem, not the Chinese generally
You don't think there are Chinese that want a different governance model for their country?
I know many Chinese are not happy with their government. However I cannot do anything to help them.
Its the CCP that is the problem. I will say this plainly: Freedom for Hong Kong. Freedom for Taiwan.
I think I said that clearly, but apologies if it came out that way.
Freedom for China would be nice too.
Off the top of my head -- nginx which is by some metrics the most popular web server[0]. Or Kotlin -- the programming language that Google recommends for writing Android apps[1].
"Sometimes including actors that do not conform to certain ethical standards and trust worthy behaviors, leads to spreading infection and danger to the world."
Could you tell how have you come to this way of thinking about a whole nation?
That's populism seeping into the mind. Globle trade and collaboration have raised many people from poverty. It's how China and the US got to where they are today.
Decoupling increases the likelihood of confrontation. The US did similar to this with Japan just before WW2
Coupling has a big impact on deterrence and not going to war in the first place. If you want war, then advocate for the regressive isolationist polices. If you don't want war, then look for places where we can collaborate, like climate change and trade
Perhaps still 30 years away... but I think it will happen, and a war between two nuclear nations won't be pretty (although I doubt it'll actually be a nuclear war)
It'll be a test of the economies of the nations to see who can build most high tech drones quickest and who can do R&D fastest to outclass the enemies inventions. Drone aircraft, ships, missiles, bombs.
I hope that as soon as one side has clearly better and more drones, the other will surrender, ideally before substantial loss of life.
Do you know that AMD makes powerful GPUs that even have a general purpose programming interface called ROCm? Now try to persuade ML practitioners to switch to that ftom NVidia GPUs and CUDA.
That's probably what's going to happen in China.
But it will take time. Buying time is what this ban is trying to achieve. Slowing down the rivals.
If Nvidia was banned tomorrow, I think within 6 months another leader would emerge and be supported by all the big libraries.

That being said, decoupling increases the chances of a hot war. All this stuff is a lot like the 30s that scored humans a second world war.
Perhaps they think that Huawei / smic is constrained on how much they can produce.
However, one day those engineering minds will divert their attention from making devices cheaper and more efficient towards making the same devices perform better and have more features. At that point, the consumer will see the innovation.
