South Korea under immense pressure from U.S. to take its side in “Chip War”

You are honestly asking why advanced chips which are needed for advanced military machinery, quantum computing and space applications poses a National Security threat relative to a caffeine fix that coffee provides?

Conversation over.

The thing is that China is trying to become self sufficient. It might be able to do this. It certainly has all the resources it needs, oil might be a problem, if they can make an economy that doesn't rely on oil so much.
China will end up producing its own chips at some point, all that's happening now is the Chinese will spend a lot more money making it happen right now.

They will become self-sufficient. Until then they will use us. They do what we did at one time. As they become self-sufficient, their power will grow exponentially. Their growing military and NAVAL advancements are proof of it. The incredible thing is near one billion of their people have not entered their massively growing middle class yet. They are hungry. They have found the golden ticket that we gave them.
