I hope something will be done with Chinese speculators who buy all stock of certain components as soon as it becomes available and then resell at 10x margin. What is a chip manufacturer gaining when they sell components to them rather than to businesses that actually use them in their products? Currently my friends company had to hire two more engineers to redevelop product to use a different chip manufacturer who so far has not been badly affected. But this may become a kind of whack-a-mole game. If this causes so much harm to businesses, why agencies don't treat this as a national security problem and actually put these Chinese companies on terrorist list?
