Wouldn't that put Mediatek on the radar of the US for getting similar measures taken against them?

IIRC, if you want to use 5G/4G with MTK chip, you need to pay license fee to QCOM? and US can still ban this.

  Then China ignores license fees and patents.

  No. MediaTek customers don't pay incenses fro QCOM. US has not prevented Intel, AMD, or Qualcomm from selling their chips to China. Why it would prevent Taiwanese companies doing so?
