what kind of idiot thinks that financial considerations have anything to do with both america and chinas efforts to make semiconductor manufacturing locally?! it’s pretty obvious they bee this as prime strategic resources for a key facet of human life in the 21st century and they will do everything they can to make sure that is never jeopardized by international events even if it’s at a loss.

Why would US cone to the rescue of Taiwan when all they need to do is force TSMC move to US for 1/1000th the cost? Which they are doing now.

Goast posted:has china tried any HELLO FELLOW KIDS outreaches via the internet similar to the american military has with their esports and twitch stuff? Not for military purposes as far as I know, but for all sorts of other stuff they seem to hand talking points to prominent social media types. That said, there's a powerful/scary vicious undercurrent in China's internet culture in recent years, which basically looks for excuses to semi-randomly savage people in terms of public opinion. No-one wants to provoke that, but everyone would like a little government protection, so.

Lol the us will not do "everything they can" to onshore domestic manufacturing capacity or direct a national industrial strategy, certainly not to the scale required in this instance

fart simpson posted:the key thing he was missing in this bit was that average wages have doubled since he wrote that article, more than enough to cover the increase in ticket prices for 1 or 2 train trips a year I read this stuff back in the day. I don't think any of the points he raises is controversial even in China itself. There were plenty of people within the government who were skeptical of HSR. It also doesn't help that one of the prime advocates of HSR, the minister of railways at the time, was later found to have stolen at least hundreds of millions if not billions from the project personally. I thought Chovenac's writings at the time were reasonable and mostly technocratic, but I guess every China watcher needs to get o the grift sooner or later.

The thing about the Chinese HSR program, both in term of upgrade blueprint and national track roll out, were pretty ambitious and risky programs at the time, right after the 08 financial crisis. It was reasonable to cast doubt on it because previously attempts of "forced technology transfer" to upgrade the Chinese domestic automobile industrial has not worked out so well. The Chinese gas-powered cars had not been competitive out side of the country, even with many 50-50 share partnership of many major Germany and Japanese brands. It's just so happen that HSR has worked out much better than other industries. The Chinese HSR program (headed by that "Liu Great Leap" guy who got sent to jail later) brought 3 different HSR tech at the same time and smashed them together into their own and upgraded on these techs. I think it has to do with how much this particular industry need industry policy and state planning. Recently Chinese electric cars (and frankly any electric related transportation things) has become pretty competitive outside of China. So I think this also has to do with how new the technology is and how many old patents Chinese engineers have to go around.

Even in the USA, plenty of things are done that never directly recoup costs at point of use - the decision to insist on direct profitability is a political one, to effectively forbid certain types of development that certain people don't want, but would rather not argue against directly.

The Chinese gas-powered cars had not been competitive out side of the country, even with many 50-50 share partnership of many major Germany and Japanese brands. The car deals didn't take off massively, but they achieved their primary purpose. Consider that the biggest ones were worked out in cooperation with dongfeng, which does military work, etc. While China never became a major competitive car exporter, it got adequate domestic production of functional vehicles. Additionally, there was serious brain-drain as a result of those programs. It was almost expected that the best Chinese engineers and designers would be lured to Japan by massive wage/QoL increases. Maybe they were allowed to go with the intent of providing industrial espionage, but it often didn't work out that way beyond a "bye lol".
