New phone sparks worry China has found a way around U.S. tech limits (www.washingtonpost.com)

As Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was visiting China earlier this week, a sea-green Chinese smartphone was quietly launched online.

It was no normal gadget. And its launch has sparked hushed concern in Washington that U.S. sanctions have failed to prevent China from making a key technological advance. Such a development would seem to fulfill warnings from U.S. chipmakers that sanctions wouldn’t stop China, but would spur it to redouble efforts to build alternatives to U.S. technology.

You assume too much, yourself. I think the point is the U.S. finally realized they were giving away critical technology to a nation that not so secretly plans to replace them.

Unfortunately, I think they were asleep too long, and China has enough knowledge to press forward without stealing from Americans.

Now, America must accept the fact they fucked up and have to compete as equals, which is much more difficult.
