China has no need for open source because they steal everything anyway.
My hope for open source is that if something sketchy is pushed there might be a chance to catch as opposed to a proprietary approach where nobody has a chance of knowing what is going on.
Likewise. Don't expect it from China though.
Yeah don't have my hopes up. Without it I don't plan to give their GPUs a shot, since they aren't saviors either with their state sponsored attack on notepad++ as a recent example. Just a potential hardware supplier.
So despite how bad hardware supply might get for consumers there's still a level of caution I have and would need some level of a trustless system in place.
Otherwise I'd just opt for old PC hardware like retro console players have been doing for decades.
Great. Now they're building infrastructure and industry atop a stolen Trojan Horse, which may still bite them the moment the little oange man tells Nadella to flip the switch.
