"Ah, who would have thought that our Huaxia's five-thousand-year civilization would be so suppressed by this tiny chip that we couldn't rise again? It's truly lamentable," Zhang Menglong perused the list of companies.
Apart from those developed European and American countries and Kaibong, even a tiny place like Qingqiu Country has a world-class semiconductor enterprise.
"Mr. Zhang, this was a product of the era. Actually, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, our country's chip technology was only five to six years behind America, and far ahead of Qingqiu Country. However, its development was completely reliant on the market, without any policy support. Plus, with foreign chips rapidly capturing the market, that led to the current situation."
"But Qingqiu Country recognized this point in their time of backwardness and took direct national action to fund independent research, which is why they could eventually surpass us."
