This tech war is going to make it harder for China to develop new chips for coming development of AI/ML technologies. US citizens who work in this sector in China have left. The brain drain is going to be unidirectional. From the entire world to the US. Everything will be expensive because the cheap labor we leaned on will be either prohibitively expensive or automated.

Yes! This is a really big part of what's going on. US is fighting Russia and China without technically fighting them. However, this might change with China if they make a move towards Taiwan. TSMC produces around half of the world's chips, even more of the 5nm, and almost all of the 3nm. It's a nice move, but if it forced China to invade Taiwan, the US will protect it. And we will probably have to do it more directly than what we are doing in the Ukraine.
