The State Department is wrong to pull its punches on China - The Washington Post
Washington PostAPR 22 2023
The US' current system of blockades and sanctions has been quite successful, but Washington must push harder to exclude the most advanced chip technology from falling into Beijing's hands. As China inevitably grows its own chip manufacturing capabilities, the US should allow its Asian counterpart to produce older generations of chips while also working with the rest of the world to block it from accessing the components necessary for advanced chips. The US can't stop China, but it can remain one step ahead.
As it works to wipe China off the tech economy map and monopolize the chip industry, the US is actually predicted to reduce its own companies' revenue and global market share by 37% and 18%, respectively. This, coupled with the loss of tens of thousands of American jobs, is what Washington is willing to induce as it plays tough-guy games with Beijing. If the US actually wanted to normalize relations, as it has said over and over again, it would stop treating China as an enemy.
