China cooks covert chips, recruits global geeks to dodge US restrictions

China has refused to just live accept the US deciding it's not allowed to do AI? How surprising. Washington is pushing to ban something? No, Washington can just ban it. Ban or don't ban, there is no push.
Also phrasing it as US technology is misleading: the current chip leader is in Taiwan and the main kit comes from the Netherlands. No one is after "US Technology".
The US and China (and all other countries) have a right to pursue their own interests as long as they avoid certain extreme measures like actual war (something both those countries need to remember). And like it or not, they will. No one's law applies to anyone else except by mutual agreement. So Taiwan and SK (and anyone else) can continue exporting to China as long as they're happy to live with the consequences.
And I have been a hawk on china for a long time.
China has just built the largest combat hospital across from Taiwan and over a dozen huge air raid shelters. Xi also passed a law that said Taiwan verbally refusing to be under the CCP control is an act of war.
We are waiting for the leadership there to settle down and stop using AI for genocide, no need to make it easy for them.
