“Washington’s greatest miscalculation may not be underestimating China’s chipmaking capabilities, but rather overlooking the forces that drive technological progress. History has shown that every industrial power that has tried to suppress a rival’s technological rise has, at best, delayed it — and at worst, accelerated it. Chips are no exception. The chip war is far from over, but in the long run, the US may have ensured that it is a war China cannot lose.”

The Samsung chairman, who transformed his father’s noodle-trading business into a $355 billion smartphone and chipmaking colossus, has died at 78. The second-generation leader’s mark on Korea Inc will endure, but so do scandals that threaten the family’s grip on power.”
