It's been a while since I've fucked with BGP personally, but there is a part of me cackling over the idea of the US banning setting up BGP routes with Chinese entities only for them to discover that the direct routes between the two didn't matter anyway given that they're on literal opposite sides of the planet as far as internet cables are concerned and that all the intermediate routes still exist so nothing changed at all and you can still easily connect to Chinese servers.
