Reliance on Chinese tech is probably unacceptable What would it mean for Russian effort to keep their own technology from being replicated by China ?

China does not replicate Russian space tech. They replicate US space tech. The post talks about electronics. Russia does not have native electronics industry of the same generation as the West. They were about to get equipment for 65nm in 2014, which was canceled after the Crimea annexation. They are still at 115nm feature size. you cell phone is most likely 14nm, and if you have the latest, it's 10nm. That is why the post is talking about shortages - local stash of Westen tech is running out.
