not surprising really.

A company doesn't want to risk losing progress or possible issues from a change that may effect them negatively or harm their brand should it become issue later on in consumers hand.

This is true for any business of any nation...using widely used/quality stuff if safer long term.

I'm surprised they rely on many small companies to advance the technology. It'd make more sense to gather scientists and engineers together and think these things through. It's controled economy to some degree.

to be honest multiple smaller companies is how it should be.
This spreads the industry and stops one or two from becoming monopoly that has more power than they should. (the consumer world suffers from monopolies)

Does China have their own version of a Wozniak/Keller/Koduri?
If not, they need one.
If yes, fund them.

China's semis market is the largest one in the world and if these companies were forbidden from selling to China's market, in just a couple years the market would be gone - forever. This is not unlike the ASML, when the Chinese figure out how to make 7nm chips without ASML DUV or EUVs, it's game over.

By this time next year, China will produce more goods for the world and their GDP will continue to grow by more than 5%... Just look at the number of Phds they produced locally and hired internationally.

As someone here loves to write, China can progress only by copying. So please sanction China. Just do it.

It doesn't help that 99% of "reviews" for chinese-made CPU and GPU are complete fabrications, often from fictional "reviewers" that don't exist and were made up wholesale by the Chinese government.

They claim the CPU is faster than the latest ryzen - CPUs sneaked out of china reveal slightly slower than a dual core Athlon 64

They claim their GPUs are "world class" - actual reviews outside china reveal them to be slower than a geforce 680
