The US was fine with giving China advanced technology, for decades. Only more recently they have started to open their eyes to the threat that China is. Back in Clinton days, Bill Clinton mega funder Bernard Schwartz even gave China technology that would make their ballistic missilves more accurate.
The USSR never matched the West for technology, despite throwing ever resource they had at matching and surpassing the West. China, without access to Western and Japanese technology, is not going to match the West anytime soon.
And they are starting to feel the strain of their own ecconomy like how they arrested JackMan.
Soon other Chinese industrialist might just take their patents elsewhere if they fear the CCP could judt go JakMah on them.
Then there is thr fact that it costs more to do your own research about Chips and they know its cheaper and to import American tech than to put money in R&D sure the more amboitous Chinese nationalists,the scholars,the humanists all want to strive for a sekf suficient China but the company heads,communist commisars,Chiefs are all about making quick profits.
