China Ditches Intel & AMD in Tech Independence Power Play

China’s latest tech snub: out with Intel and AMD, in with homegrown chips. Say “zaijian” to Western processors, “nihao” to local silicon swagger. 🇨🇳💻🚫 #ChinaBlacklistsWesternTech

Hot Take:

It's out with the old and in with the new, or in China's case, out with the West and in with the rest! Intel and AMD are getting the boot as China swipes left on Western processors. This is like the tech version of "Eat local," except it's "Compute local," and the stakes are a tiny bit higher than your avocado toast's carbon footprint. As China aims to be the belle of the ball in its own technological dance, we're witnessing a digital decoupling that could have Silicon Valley shaking in its boots. Or at least in its Birkenstocks.
