Capitalists outsource all of the means to produce something to a socialist country.

Next sanction that country.

Now that socialist country is selling what was originally made in the Capitalist country.

Neoliberals will do anything to downplay or outright deny any historical incident where import substitution lead to industrialization. Creating captive markets for the dumping of manufactured products was one of the prime drivers of colonialism, which continued under neocolonialism. With sanctions, the US is unintentionally undermining their own hegemony. Businesses like having access to markets and moats. They are giving moats to one side and stripping access to the other.

Sanctions will do for Chinese chip makers what the great firewall did for Chinese internet giants.

Seeing /u/dylan522p acknowledge reality somewhat is refreshing although the conclusion is the predictable “Washington is just sanctioning wrong, if they followed my foolproof sanction regime it would magically work”. Liberals attacking him for this article is quite hilarious. They’re really intolerant of even the slightest deviation from US state department rhetoric.

It’s pretty obvious that the yanks are losing the technology war by a wide margin at this point. Sure, China is a totaltarian hellhole that’s practicing genocide at this moment, but they’ve put their money where their tech needs to be and it’s showing. Meanwhile the US flouders with identity politics bullshit and internal strife while the rich get richer by exploiting it.
