The number of people aged 15 to 64, traditionally considered the working age in the UK, has been declining from more than two-thirds of the population in 2007 to about 63 per cent last year

According to the age distribution of China's population in 2022, approximately 68.2 percent of the population were in their working age between 15 and 64 years of age

NASA has been too busy pissing money into the Shuttle and SLS industry subsidy programs. I think they have a couple micro lander projects on the go though, slated for next year or the year after.

Chip companies are hating losing access to the Chinese market and probably avoiding export controls like firms are with Russia

China's domestic manufacturing is fine for older chips with military applications, and there are no controls on buying cloud computing time so that's booming.

Ultimately China will struggle for a few years but developing a self sufficient domestic chip sector count will benefit them in the long run.

Another own goal by the US.

Well China, I guess you have to do austerity now!

Don't you have to do austerity now??
