    I expect it to fail completely, sanctions on consumer goods that sell in tens, hundreds of thousands of units are very hard to enforce. There are sanctions on high-tech consumer goods for Russia(computer components, smartphones, etc), but all online and retail stores are completely stocked up on them.

      Yeah and the Chinese can access these goods from other markets. They could buy them from India, for example.

      It’s quite amazing to think some people belive that if the Chinese really wanted to use these GPUs they wouldn’t somehow manage to get it.
