once again, I'm not talking about producing the silicon. Tell me one leading semiconductor design company that hails from china.

If they're producing "clones"... why would they do it under the banner of a *leading semiconductor design company* (Whatever that means, there are lots of different semiconductor/integrated devices, not every company is like Maxim and produce almost almost every possible device they can. Most focus on a specific market.) ... That would be a little silly wouldn't it?
I doubt the Chinese would bother producing clones of an ancient chip that there is no market for, but that's not to say there's no one in the whole country that couldn't have a crack it if they wanted to. There are plenty of complex bootleg devices coming out of China. Maybe you're believing in Mt. Fuji a little too much?

I'm not belittling the Chinese here just stating some facts (And I'm not Japanese anyway).

Well, I'm writting this from my fiancee's apartment in Hokkaido, so maybe I should be making the same assumptions about the Chinese as you...

OK of course they can do it if the Chinese government set up a program to 'Duplicate the 68060',

If there was a market for clones of this device there would be a fab in China producing those clones. Just as there are fabs in China pumping out clones of *popular* devices.

we're talking about people with a space program here. But it's no walk in the park for your average Yang who duplicates casio game watches.

But you said there was no one in China's population of 1,321,851,888 (Google) that could clone the all mighty 68060... I'm pretty sure their guys that built a home grown MIPS would have something to say about that, but we'll all have to rely on your superior knowledge of every single person in China here won't we.

That's what I mean. Thank you and good day.

I'm pretty sure you made a massive blanket statement about ability of the Chinese.
