How adversity has guided the path of Chinese civilisation through the ages

Places well-endowed with natural resources don’t usually become great powers or world-conquering empires.

Huawei’s new chip scaling law aims to sidestep ASML chokepoint but hurdles remain: analysts

Huawei Technologies has engineered a workaround to one of China’s most crippling chipmaking bottlenecks, but analysts warn that the nation’s path to semiconductor independence is still constrained by manufacturing challenges.
