It's interesting to see how defensive some of these pro-China posters get on HN and elsewhere. I'm genuinely curious why there seems to be an inferiority complex here with respect to America/American companies.

China follows foot-in-the-door tactic per the Art of War. (done in HK, Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia)

This in-turn later on, AIs will train to make pro-China comments as AIs train on these.

They got the sheer man-power, and with AIs it's even easier.

I'm not a pro-china poster, i'm from germany and didn't find this 'funny'.

Apple is the second richest company on the world (which doesn't need help/protection?!) and they have experts in chip design.

Xiamoi is some random chinese company not known for high end chips and was able to catch up impressivly in a short period of time.

This fact doesn't get funny or wahtever just because apple brought out a new chip today.

I'm not a fanboy for any of it and do not care.

		> Xiamoi is some random chinese company not known for high end chips and was able to catch up impressivly in a short period of time Xiamoi is a huge company and is a commonly known brand. They’ve been making chips for a long time. They didn’t start a few months ago and catch up with Apple on their first try.

		Are they well known in China? I'm seeing that Chinese tech has decoupled from the West. They have all this cool stuff that we do not hear about because they aren't selling it to us because they don't need to. It's usually been stuff with better price to performance or ultra low prices though, rather than ultimate performance stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if they made a top end chip that everyone in China knew about, and we didn't.

		> Xiamoi is some random chinese company That might be the funniest thing I read all day. Xiaomi is a massive company that makes all sorts of things, including a lot of pretty high-end mobiles, and has an annual revenue in the order of 75 billion US. It’s no Apple, but it’s not exactly “some random Chinese company” either.

I find pro apple comments funnier; but you know, everyones got their own rose colored glasses.
