Meh, wake me up when Chinese factories stop using european/american/japanese equipments and european/american/japanese softwares, because that's all they use.

Nice way to move the bar. The Chinese are crushing it in state-of-the-art EVs, batteries, solar, heavy manufacturing, produce pretty much every electronics component out there, have advanced chip lithography which has never been closer to what ASML offers, cheap steel, managerial skill to make massive infrastructure developments, and so on.

You're about to get the rug pulled from under you and you didn't even see it.
