...you really dont understand the topic you are trying to debate.
I asked you three questions that only those in the industry know. You avoided them because you are ignorant about the semicon industry, just like you are ignorant about aviation but lied about yourself.
Because you are ignorant about the semicon industry, you consistently failed to understand the details of the industry. It is not my claim that China is critically dependent on Western technology.
IT IS CHINA'S CLAIM as evident by the Chinese government plan to wean domestic semicon companies away from using foreign sources.
IT IS THE MARKET'S CLAIM as evident by the fact that the top equipment manufacturers are consistently Western and not Chinese.

Interviews with half a dozen China chip suppliers, business groups, investors, and analysts suggest that despite heavy investment and rhetoric, China is behind schedule in developing high-end chips, or integrated circuits. China has made more progress on lower-end chips, people said.

While the processors made by the US companies are mostly used in the upscale electronic products, the China-made ones can only fill the low-end market for products such as bank cards and USB-keys.
Lower end products are like the SIM card that you have been harping on as somehow proof that China is independent. Absolutely China can be independent on making SIM cards and USB NAND. Go China...!!!
I am working on the next generation of NVM technology -- phase change materials. We -- meaning the West -- are going to offload NAND to China. Even 3D NAND is no longer something to crow about. NAND is well past the 50/50 threshold to become low end commodity products. The profit margin on NAND pales in comparison to what is coming, so yes, China can have NAND.

Another weakness was a lack of capital. For decades, labor-intensive industries -- such as assembling mobile phones -- were the route to riches in China, attracting investment from entrepreneurs and bureaucrats alike. Making semiconductors, by contrast, requires billions in up-front capital and can take a decade or more to see a return. In 2016, Intel Corp. alone spent
$12.7 billion on R&D. Few if any Chinese companies have that capacity or the experience to make such an investment rationally. And central planners typically resist that kind of risky and far-sighted spending.
A major mistake made by China was failure to 'cluster' semicon manufacturers and affiliated companies the way Silicon Valley have. The mistake came from shortsightedness in vision, greed, inexperience, and corruption. As local factories are built and got running, local infrastructures further secures the factories, and local corruption further waste away the government's investment.
I make fun of your claim about your 'aviation education' then 'aviation studies' to show the readers that you are nothing but a blowhard from Indonesia who had to lie about himself and could not support the lie.
I have no problems telling people of my USAF and civilian yrs in aviation. On this forum, I explained basic principles, and revealed details about aviation, military and civilian, that only those who have true experience would know. I have yet to meet anyone who refuses to tell people about their life in aviation as it is a prestigious area. Until now --
YOU. I met people who were just in ground school for their pilot's license and they were proud of just going to ground school. And you cannot even tell this forum what was your area in claimed 'aviation studies'.
So either you lied about yourself or you are ashamed of your 'aviation studies'. Which is it? I have yet to meet anyone who is ashamed of his/her time in aviation, even if just a few yrs. That leave lying.
The reason you avoided my questions about your vague 'aviation studies' is because you know I would bust you in a few posts, as I have done to other frauds before you. I have no doubt that without me, you would have lied about yourself in semiconductor as well.
