MODERATORS
If China buys American chips, it is a serious threat to US national security, but if China doesn't buy American chips, then they are straining US relations. The nonfalsifiable orthodoxy strikes again. 
Wait I thought the US banned the chips π
They change the narrative depending on their mood
US banned chips β "Based imperialist daddy putting those ASIANS in their place"
China banned chips β "EVIL STATE CCP AUTHORITANKIE TYRANNY!!! WE MUST BOMB THEM ALL AND LIBERATE THE COUNTRY AT ONCE!!!"
I think they put china on a list of enemies that only get to have access to poopoo dog doo doo quality chips, now China is forbidding their companies from using western poopoo quality chips so they don't make their products shitty and encourages chinese companies to spend on higher end domestically manufactured chips which will further reduce the gap between Chinese and western produced chip production
Now the u.s. is mad because nvidia made a bunch of doo doo chips probably loaded with spyware just for china and now who's gonna buy it??
I love all this crying about intellectual property like didn't the U.S. literally steal machine tools from Belgium to get its early industrial start
they were still "stealing" copyrighted stuff from the fucking UK in 1965! so really, they took IP laws super seriously and this isnt about being a sore loser.
Oh how the turn tables
the way itβs meant to be played 
So this ban is about China only chips since Nvidia isn't even allowed to export the good stuff to China. AND companies are still allowed to buy the Nvidia chips if they can come up with a justified reason why they need to use them over domestic chips.
