I didn't realize that the chip embargo was just targeting 5G. What an absurd move. It's a completely unimportant technology, why is that where you draw the line in the sand? And it's not some incredibly advanced thing that's hard to replicate, it's just a communications standard embedded on a chip. The only thing this embargo does is force China to arbitrarily build this specific supply chain entirely in their own country. Which China's rivals shouldn't even want! Having supply chains spread across dozens of countries makes it harder for all of those countries to go to war

5G is a hugely important technology. It's not just rinky dink cell phones streaming cat videos, it has massive implications for automation, like this mostly-automated port in China that uses it.
