- s1artibartfast 2y agoI don't see how that matters. Bomb them or turn them off, it is only acts as a disincentive for China if they are reliant on Taiwanese chips. Forcing China to develop domestic production makes invasion more likely.
- gscott 2y agoChina gets around the sanctions by having non sanctioned Chinese companies buy the machines, setup across the street from the sanctioned company and the send wafers back and forth using a conveyor belt over the street. The sanctions are more of a bump in the road then a full halt.
