The U.S. government’s latest move to restrict exports to Chinese tech giants like the Inspur Group—and six of its subsidiaries—has sparked debate, with critics calling it a "swing and miss" strategy. Experts argue third-party suppliers will keep China’s innovation engine running, leaving the ban looking more like a political pitch than a practical block. 🔄
Why the Restrictions Miss the Mark
Washington claims halting access to high-end tech like supercomputers and quantum systems will slow China’s progress. But as Anthony Moretti, a U.S. professor and CGTN commentator, notes: "Chinese companies partner with third-party sellers." Think of it like cutting one streaming service—others fill the gap. 📉
Tariffs & Trade Hypocrisy
With tariffs also failing to curb China’s growth, critics question why the U.S. doubles down on shaky tactics. A Vanderbilt Journal report highlights the irony: America champions free trade while undermining its own rules. "Trust among nations? Not so much," the study warns. 🌐
History Repeats, Lessons Unlearned
This isn’t the first time the U.S. has used "exceptionalism" to block rivals, say analysts. From Latin America to Asia, past policies often backfired, fueling distrust. Will this tech tussle follow the same script? 🤔
