How much success has China already had in reshaping the the international community. >> I would say much less than we might anticipate. It doesn't seem as though much of the rest of the world is interested in trading the current international system for a Chinaled international system.That being said, if you're looking for Chinese technological influence or economic influence globally, certainly the Belton Road and the digital Silk Road have been transformative. look at Huawei which has you know 70% of the ...

10 December 2025 Asia Semiconductors Economics Five questions on the US-China memory chip race 1. Why do memory chips increasingly matter for AI? High-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips have become critical for AI applications due to their ability to store and retrieve vast amounts of data at high speed. Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron are the three global leaders in memory chipmaking. 2. How are US memory chip restrictions evolving? The US banned HBM exports to China in December 2024. Since then, the Trump adminis ...

President Trump has told Nvidia that it can ship its H200 chips to China. That's if China decides to actually import them.
