Though profits dipped from bold R&amp;D spending, the company is closing the gap in high-end tech, proving homegrown innovation can compete globally. 🇨🇳🚀</p><p><a href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-war/article/3307075/tech-war-founder-chinese-semiconductor-equipment-maker-amec-renounces-us-citizenship" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">scmp.com/tech/tech-war/article</span><span class="invisible">/3307075/tech-war-founder-chinese-semiconductor-equipment-maker-amec-renounces-us-citizenship</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/TechSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/china" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>china</span></a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a></p>
