No. Most of the Chinese RAM production is going to Chinese data centers, as per Chinese government mandate.

Yeah if anyone is hoping for cheaper RAM from China flooding western markets. It may happen but it's not happening this decade. Hope you're ready to wait until 2030s because that's how long it's going to be short of the whole AI thing violently imploding.

When the AI bubble pops RAM prices will fall back, but they'll never be as low as they were before AI. AI is going nowhere, it's not quite like the Internet but it's still got its uses. So I think you'll see RAM prices fluctuate with an overall positive slope after the bubble pops. The days of cheap RAM are over for the most part.

AI is now hooking into military funding. It is a weapon in itself, and it supports modern traditional weapons. The AI bubble is literally ironclad and safe from popping for alone time to come. (Purely my suspicion, and not based on much evidence, but I wouldn't bet against it)

It’s pretty early on, but looks promising. CXMT, the difference is negligible.

The idea isn’t that it’s “better” or different,” the idea is getting another player in the game.

Sure, that'll be the priority, but again, look at solar and EVs. Once production ramps up, these things start getting exported globally at way lower prices than western competition.

The Internet was a bubble, the Internet literally revolutionized how we communicate with each other and is far more of groundbreaking and influential invention than AI.

And the dotcom bubble popped. Just because it's a bubble doesn't mean the thing is useless, AI is no different. It will pop, and AI will stay, but the bubble will pop regardless. This is just the nature of shoveling obscene amounts of money into companies promising the next big thing.
