what an incredible fumble. I feel like it's fairly self-evident that if you're trying to curtail innovation in a foreign adversary, you have to absolutely strangle it in the cradle or it just won't take, especially when it is actively in China's best interests to build self-sufficent tech industry. Like the article said it hurt Huawei in the short term, but only inasmuch as it forced them to rip the bandaid off. We saw this with the sanctions on Russia too, where hostility from western economies, while painful, has only made it easier to build an economy that is much more resilient to outside pressure.
The US took their shots, failed, and won't have the chance to try again
The best thing about all this is that US seems to be absolutely incapable of learning from past mistakes, and they just keep doubling down on their failed strategies.
