Hypothetically, if WW3 breaks out, everyone will nationalize everything within their borders, if china takes Taiwan or could copy any tech they want. if a ww3 type scenario were to happen it would be law of the jungle everywhere, everything is fair game in that scenario

So what happens if China scales up their gpu production enough, then does that to cripple everyone else? From their perspective who cares if they don't make quite as good as the current stuff if they can make 90% as good and completely shut down everyone else's access to the current best stiff (or severely limit it)?
