This is kinda ridiculous in the sense of "we've done something!" I am originally from a country, which made a lot of millionaires during the war in Yugoslavia! It makes sense to ban mass products, but niche GPUs can be imported through other countries!
The chances of nothing getting through is zero, but it’s harder to do at scale and much more expensive. Plus the US does go after foreigners that help targeted nations dodge sanctions so can make it very miserable for China’s smugglers further exacerbating the shortage in China.
