WOW! Not sure where you live to get that sort of negative impression of Chinese. Where I come from, our Chinese people are always helping each other, sharing of resources, and caring for each other.

For example, when my parents had a take-away, or take-outs in USA. When they run out of resources like veg, or something. They would get on the phone to the nearest take away and "borrow" it from them. (Their competitor). It is recipicle of course. But I just can't imagine Tesco doing that with Sainsbury's.

Also, we run our Sunday school for the local Chinese children and elderly to play mahjon. We all do this by given up our own time and money. So where is the selfishness that you see.

So I say to you my friend, that your own experience clouded your assessment of Chinese in a negative way. We are no more, no less selfish than every other race. And your statement may typified what, and how Chinese are being viewed. I know is generalisation, but then so was your statement!
What you are saying is understandable and I can relate to. As me too have met Chinese who are helpful and generous.

What ever happened to the thread about US shooting themselves in the foot for banning Huawei. See what the Pentagon has to say about this.

Pretty sure not being able to sell to Huawei makes up a good part of it.

Any news on China's exascale supercomputer projects ? What is the chance of seeing one in 2020 ?

Saw this recent article on IEEE Spectrum.

Will China Attain Exascale Supercomputing in 2020?

Title is a click-bait. All it does is to list the known active projects in the US, China, Japan and EU.

It's up to government to disclose such sensitive things. The potentials of such technologies cannot be compared to advancements in something like improvements to car manufacturing or even telecom. If they choose to reveal mastering exascale supercomputers like China has with the more conventional supercomputers, it would be a choice made by the state for carefully assessed reasons. At the moment there isn't reason to doubt China is well on its way to meeting targets and it's been relatively transparent on this side of things so far.

Unlike the US, China tends to not "bombastic" .... but get things done quietly ... I am sure it will get done in 2020

Less talk more action. Else we'd be like the Jai Hind (seems like the Indian version of Sieg Heil/Black Power/White Power chauvinistic chants) crowd, trying to win "wars of perception" but failing miserably in anything that actually matters. Deng's hide your strength mantra applies now more than ever.

While everything in China seems to be winding down in production due to the virus outbreak, the chip industry is not.

You can expect chip fabs to be the most microbe free places in the planet so that should not come as a surprise.

China's first remote diagnosis of the deadly coronavirus using a 5G network.

I also heard that robots are also employed to deliver food and supplies to patients and for remote diagnosis.
