> Oh I dunno to simultaneously give Chinese tech companies a huge boost USA could end Chinese chip production as a retaliation, since they are still dependent on US and European manufacturing machines that they can’t operate on their own. It’d take a decade to catch up and make their own manufacturing equipment. In the meantime they’d make themselves essentially irrelevant to the world if they can’t be relied upon for doing contract manufacturing. There are many such areas where China would be more hurt be economic decoupling than USA.
