I am not sure what is new here. This has always been the case, written or non-written. X-Ray or not. State companies or not. On Smartphone Screen, NAND, and millions of other things.
It's not about new, it's about highlighting progress against a plan that will likely create new competitors on a global stage while closing out any free market competition within their come country.
I know, what you state above isn't new either. Well to me at least. Not to mention how whey continue to dump money and capital in these new "competitors".
