I'm neither pro China, nor pro US. I'm pro open weights models, and I'm pro cheaper hardware. At this point I don't see any american frontier labs releasing SOTA open weights model, and I don't see ASML/Nvidia/Samsung monopoly getting any competition from anywhere apart from China in the near future.

Why does them being a geopolitical enemy matter to me as an individual?

same plan as always. stop from producing native capablity and then use the dependency to your advantage like becoming un attackable. cheap shit is more powerful that a nuclear shield.

But why would "we" want to attack them anyway?

The world's a big messy place. You could do something like idk make a whole big mess in a region where they get most of their fossil fuels from.

you mean why does any country have a military if they dont plan to attack anyone?
