i suspect that this lack of detail is characteristic of the sanctions. my head hasn’t been in the semiconductor game for decades, but any laymen like me could see that the sanctions had obvious loopholes that enabled china to proceed and i wonder if that’s intentional or because the politicians lacked this kind of detailed knowledge.
I think it’s pretty clear that people making these decisions don’t have a clue. Experts have been saying from the start that this is a hare brained scheme. The key part here isn’t that China can still access western tech, but rather that China now has a strong incentive to develop domestic tech, while western companies lose sales.
Yeah, I think that’s what they’re referring to.
