This doesn't make any sense.

Chips require a variety of resources, including a ton of water, as well as quite a bit of labor. The UAE has none of those things.

Think it’s pretty irrelevant , China has made significant ground in FAB capabilities and is only marginally behind the US in AI capability … it’s like post ww2 and atomic weapons and Russia. The fact is China a traditional super power and technological global hub will catch up to the US in short order. The western world had what 100 years of domination of Asia out of its 5000 year history… and that’s over , simple like that. I couldn’t tell you what the political solution is but if the idea is to keep China at a technological disadvantage it’s a losing battle. There are 1.5 billion minds in the country for brain power, the capital, and a lynchpin of technological supply chain at their disposal.

And money, and the UAE has that in spades. Money can buy the rest.

UAE will follow the money. China has a lot of money.
