Most of China’s smuggling is through middle eastern countries. Which USA signed deals to give them more than they need. Which was already flagged as a problem, and promptly ignored by Trump’s administration. But we are going to restrict Thailand and Malaysia? Both of which do not really buy AI chips to begin with. Why? And if USA is going to do this, why not ban Singapore. A nation that was caught smuggling chips to China several times? Someone make it make sense
