China only spends about 2% of GDP that is 280 billion dollars on R&D. But of course you can argue that wages in China are lower so they get a bigger bang for a buck. Taking pure PPP relation under consideration you can get north of 400 billion dollars. Underestimating this is what CCP propaganda wants.

Underestimating this is what CCP propaganda wants. I do believe there is a translation issue here, let me clean that up a smidge. My own personal interpretation of China's RD development would be more aptly coined intellectual property procurement division....by any means necessary. Can there be a case made for theft of intellectual property...but of course comes to mind. As in most matters it is called perception, are you aware that there are some people who put earrings on a pig and proclaim brilliance. Never mind a pig is still just ...a pig.

SUZNV + 1,197 August 24, 2020 (edited) CCP's propaganda since Xi were never about Deng's guideline anymore. The propaganda nowadays concentrated in bluffing that China will catch up and surpass US in technologies for these purposes: 1 Using the 1.4 billion growing fast market to trap foreign investments and technologies and borrow money. 2 To keep their satellites in orbit. If China is in the rising and US is in the sinking, then choose your friends wisely for the your future and don't think that US gonna protect you. 3 To make their allied parties in oversea to have an excuse to selling out their countries's interest, which is "China is unstoppable and nothing we can do" or in the US :"we should be friend with the rich and powerful to keep the peace, and to be friends, we have to ignore the bad side of each other". 4 To give hope and pride to people in China in CCP leadership in many years of corruptions and human right crimes. People will only raise up if they see no hope in the current system. One indicator is CCP target in meeting 40% of their chips demand in 2025 but their growth from 2014 to 2019 only from 15.1% to 15.7%. If ARM China detaches from ARM, the only benefit is that they can keep the profits from ARM current pattern but there would be consequences: 1 ARM ownership is UK-Japan joint venture. This will make these countries heed the call from the US. Many other companies will have kept an eye on their other partnership in China. 2 Their would be fierce competition in R&D in new ARM versions between China, home brewing talents, local market vs ARM international talents pools and international markets. I think they just buy time to use ARM China as hostage so current US administration will not put a meaningless ARM sanction on them. If one day China decided to cut the tie with the US to catch up and surpass and developed domestically, this mean they will need to compete R&D not with the US alone but Apple, Intel, AMD, Samsung, TSMC etc. and guess who is more efficient in managing funds, talent pools and markets with a better reputation? At that moment their oversea branches is meaningless. It is will likely they even lose top talents. US has no hostages so they can go trade war with max level. How much money & talents they need to catch up let along to surpass all of the guys above. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/hisilicon-engineers-leaving While China propaganda in how powerful they are, US in the contrary didn't use their power as leverage and constantly being took advantages off as if there is a competition that world politicians love to slap at US president as a demonstration of their powers and criticized even when US redeployment their troop while internally we have a lots of US citizen despite their history and culture and think they suffer because they were born in the US, advocating for their votes. That is the bad side of individualism. That why most people through main stream windows will see US as a declining power rotten from within and China rising power is unstoppable. Did we see any article that US is a great nation and China will never can catch up with us? It is interesting as I see this election will be a good test for the individualism in crisis to test my theory.

Dan Warnick + 6,100 August 24, 2020 Oh, and there's this compelling tidbit (Get to the Chinese Consulate early!): How to Get Citizenship in China How to Get Citizenship in China Simply put, there is no easy way of becoming a Chinese citizen. While the process might seem simple and standard enough, the Chinese government is very selective about the individuals that are allowed to be naturalized here. In this article, we discuss what you need to expect from the process of getting Chinese citizenship. Need to move abroad? Organizing an international relocation is not something you should do on your own. As expats, we understand what you need, and offer the the essential services to help you move and live abroad easily. Contact us today to jump start your move, and begin the preparations with our free relocation checklist. You are eligible for Chinese citizenship if you are: an immediate relative of a Chinese citizen; have settled in China; or have other legitimate reasons (not specified). However, even if you meet one of these main Chinese citizenship requirements, becoming a Chinese citizen can still be a challenge. According to people who have attempted obtaining citizenship, the government itself puts obstacles in front of foreigners who wish to take on this quest. They complicate the application process and do not provide the necessary information easily. The proof of that is the latest population census that counted only less than a thousand naturalized Chinese citizens in the whole country (that excludes the 56 indigenous ethnic groups of the country among which are Koreans and Russians). The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) notes that acquiring citizenship in China is “theoretically possible” but in practical terms “extremely difficult”. If this sounds like an unnecessary hassle you do not wish to go through –– you are not alone. Many expats live in China for years without actually obtaining their citizenship. One of the main reasons for that is that international travel becomes significantly more complicated if you are a Chinese national. However, if you are planning to settle in China for good and further travel is not in your plans, naturalization might be perfect for you. Equip yourself with patience and persistence and file your Chinese citizenship application format your local embassy. In order to do so, you will need to present the following documents: birth certificate proof of the qualifying clause (e.g.: relationship with the near relative) passport or other travel documents additional documents (letters of employment, schools attended, tax returns, or other proofs of residence) China’s citizenship fees add up to 250 CNY, with 50 CNY for the application and 200 CNY for the certificate itself. Note that once you have decided to apply for Chinese citizenship, you will have to give up your citizen’s rights in other countries as China does not recognize multiple citizenships. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frank you have routinely criticised the US government on our immigration policies, while the US is accepting over 1 million new citizens per year. China accepts about 0.0000000001% per year based on that article. That assumes some kind of linear annual acceptance of those 1000 actually granted citizenship. But let's face it, there are "citizens" and there are citizens in China. Wrong province and now you're in the wrong city trying to make a living? You're a Chinese citizen from Anhui but you're in Shinzen? You're not allowed to own property and you have to get annual "permission" to remain there with a work permit, which can be revoked at any time for any reason. Time to pay off those police and CCP operatives, just to receive slave wages. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you make up decades of R&D just to catch up while competitors who might as well be from the future, are still racing ahead. That Tom's hardware article is a death rattle. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
