China wants to become a semiconductor superpower, budgeting $100B to achieve it
Was thinking about this whilst watching Marco Polo on Netflix the other day. China gave the western world so much of it&#x27;s tech, science and culture within the last millennium. How the tables have turned. I&#x27;d put it down to karma.<p>In general I think it will accelerate humanity&#x27;s technological progress. Looking on an individual level the most impactful inventors weren&#x27;t motivated by monetary reward (e.g. Tesla). If you are a true inventor it is a tap you cannot turn off. If you are a bro who is in it for the money chances are you will not invent anything particularly ground breaking. The major concern here is that it&#x27;s the bros who control the capital.
