With US allies and companions taking related steps, the sanction has “compelled China to double-down” on its push for self-reliance, however bouncing again from this setback, he reckons, will take time. “They’re hoping, in a number of years, that these Chinese language corporations can resume their technological developments, regardless of these hits.”
