> A draft rule from the Commerce Department seeks to prevent China -- to which the US has effectively banned sales of Nvidia's advanced AI processors -- from obtaining those components through intermediaries in the two Southeast Asian nations, according to people familiar with the matter. The rule is not yet finalized and could still change, said the people, who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.

This is great news for China in the long term. They are rapidly catching up in the microprocessor and fab side of things, shit like this just spurs more investment from them and will leave the rest of us out in the cold as they move past us like they did with EV's. These sort of artificial barriers are short term thinking from morons that can't perceive the long term effects.

Indeed, Loonsong announced they have server CPUs that are comparable to Intel ones from a few years ago now. Chinese designed GPUs are catching up rapidly too.
It's probably already too late, the decision was made and the Chinese government isn't going to pull back from pushing for high end CPUs and chip fabrication now.
