Not a week seems to go by in which a story appears on this site detailing how sanctions are broken or otherwise circumvented. It seems puzzling that Japan would only now revise its rules when protecting sensitive technology from China and Russia is supposed to be a critical task.

Better late than never which is better than the alternative of doing nothing.

In the U.S., companies that get subsidy money for their fabs in the country cannot expand their fabs in certain countries, such as China and Russia. They also cannot team up with companies that might cause security concerns. If they do not follow these rules, they have to give back the subsidy money.

Fine then. If China is successful (which they'll obviously know how to get it made, if you look at the track record of companies such as Huawei) . They can well afford to return US/Japan research monies, possibly with dividends as well. They can afford to break the rules. Thanks for the ROI.
