It's probably worth remembering that WSJ is a Murdoch property.
> Three weeks after getting the top job, Ms. Su, a Taiwan-born New Yorker, jetted to Beijing to meet officials at China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. A Chinese vice minister urged her to partner with China “to achieve mutual benefits based on AMD’s technological strength,” according to a ministry press release at the time.
I assume the message is: ZOMG, foreigners are giving away US technology!

Of course, since this involves selling chips to a CCP-adjacent entity, it's no longer a story about how AMD saw a 10x boost in its stock and brought competitive new products to the market.
