>> Those weren't economic sanctions, but focussed ones. And against a much less economically-important China The lifting of some of those sanctions probably helped China become as economically-important as they are now.

There was always a threatening information slip or page in the box that warned about penalties against export of the technology to countries like China. And now? Most of that export-controlled stuff is produced there.
