[Hardware] The US will not be able to contain China's technological development. Chip industry experts predict it

The sanctions that the US is deploying seek to stop China's weapons development
One of the most important elements for the chip industry is the software used in its design. The US government is doing everything in its power to prevent China from getting the cutting-edge semiconductors it needs to develop its military industry. Its strategy attacks two different fronts. On the one hand, it seeks to prevent Chinese integrated circuit manufacturers from obtaining the latest generation lithography equipment they need to produce highly integrated chips. In this field, the Dutch company ASML and the Japanese companies Tokyo Electron, Nikon and Canon lead the way.

The other essential ingredient in his recipe is to prevent China from taking over the most advanced semiconductors currently manufactured by NVIDIA, Intel or AMD, among other Western-aligned companies. In any case, the tool that the US Administration is using to assert its interests are sanctions against China and the countries in its orbit, including Iran and Russia. It has been implementing these prohibitions for several years and nothing seems to indicate that it will stop tightening them in the short term.

Every time the US Government approves a new package of sanctions, it strives to remind its allies that these measures seek to hinder China's access to the integrated circuits that are necessary to develop cutting-edge weapons. As could be expected, the Chinese Government has responded by drastically increasing the resources it allocates to the development of its semiconductor industry with a very clear purpose: to become independent in the medium or long term from technologies from abroad. Authoritative voices are already being raised that predict what difficult it will be to stop China
There is one indispensable component to the semiconductor industry that we haven't talked about yet: the software used to design cutting-edge integrated circuits. It is currently in the hands almost exclusively of companies controlled by the US and its allies, so China urgently needs to have its own software tools specialized in chip design. And it looks like he's going to have them soon. One of the Chinese companies that are already working in this area is SEIDA, and, curiously, its leader knows the American idiosyncrasy very well.
