If China had not developed the Internet in the first place and instead invested in underlying development, it is estimated that China would be no less powerful than Europe and the United States now, right?

If China had not developed the Internet in the first place and instead invested in underlying development, it is estimated that China would be no less powerful than Europe and the United States now, right? [Copy link]

In our embedded WeChat group, a friend talked about the recent chip price increase that everyone is concerned about, saying that it is a monopoly of giants and they have the final say on the price. At the same time, I am glad that my company did not choose xx chip, otherwise it would have died miserably! However, the current situation is that domestic alternatives are also in short supply, the quantity is large, the supply is insufficient to meet the demand, and the price is rising.

So someone asked: "If we had not started the Internet in the beginning and had invested in the bottom-level development, China would probably be on par with Europe and the United States now, right?"

Do you think that will happen?

Some people also say that many talents have been poached by foreign countries, and many domestic companies only want people under 35 years old. It is recommended to start your own business after the age of 35...

But the reality is that you can’t start a business without money, and the success rate of starting a business is about the same as buying a lottery ticket…

Do you think he is right?

Developing chips is a systematic project, and it is not a simple matter of input and output.

Now the technological barriers are getting higher and higher. The domestic semiconductor industry started relatively late. Many chip technologies, from simple to complex, are protected by patents. It is very difficult for China to break through these. Either it relies on imports, or uses unstable and complex technologies to circumvent patents, or it can only develop new technologies, like Huawei 5G. History cannot be changed, so we can only strive for the future.

Capital does not allow for bottom-level development.

Doing basic research? That's impossible. The cultural atmosphere of pragmatism has already determined it. Even those who say that are precisely the manifestation of pragmatism. "Comparison" itself is wrong...
