This whole ban is so stupid. China was dependent on US chips. Now that they can't get those chips, China has even more reasons to throw money at their own semiconductor industries. China will be set back for 5, maybe 10 years, and they will make better chips than anyone in the west. Not to mention how Taiwan is even more enticing to China now.
The whole plan was rooted in the racist assumption of western superiority from the every start. The politicians in US assumed that a country of 1.4 billion people wouldn't be able to figure out how to make chips on their own.
