The US govt is unable to fathom that SMIC internally innovated to allow 7nm, and now 5nm process that does not need the sanctioned tech. Also, SMIC is likely stretching the truth, calling their N+1 tech 7nm, just to taunt the US.
A process technology isn’t the same as a chip specification, though. Proving China have stolen US technology in their processes is a huge leap, hell even as an allegation it’s probably being made blind.
I think this is very true, but western media isn’t going to probe this point.
Well more to the point, process technologies are owned by the fab’s, and the fab’s the US is complaining were stolen from are not American, so I don’t even see how US technology is involved.
Copyright and patent laws need to die.
China is doing great things by subverting these laws that only exist to make rich people richer.
