    Opinionated - China Chipping Away to Semiconductor Dominance

    Global microcontroller market is estimated to be valued at $26.9 billion by 2020, while Intel revenue for 2018 alone was already $70.8 billion. So of course 'they' don't want China to pursue x86.

    What Makes China's "Mini Aegis-Class Destroyer" Special? No Sailors.

    The important thing is that China can now produce a small 'four-faced active phased array radar' similar to what is found on the Thales Integrated Mast. In other words, China produced an unmanned (and better armed) version of this: Small does not mean low-tech.
