The US has not tried to hold China back in any way since 2000. More like it did everything possible to help them grow.

Going overboard on Huawei sanctions in particular underscored the strategic and economic threat to the Chinese leadership (who are by and large pretty competent technocrats). So now they're not going to stop at anything to cut the dependency. My guess is we'll see a competitive server and/or mobile chip out of China Fabs within 3 years, notwithstanding US pressure on ASML and Netherlands to not export EUV equipment.
