Xi Jinping. The extra g caught me off guard.
China is a fairly conservative country, so calling them ultra leftist also feels wrong, since any actual leftists would get kicked out of government very quickly. It’s more like the reformer wing (was headed by ex-premiere Li Keqiang) and the more traditionalist wing that Xi represents.

From the point of view of a dictator like Xi Jinping it's the people who support him vs every one else.

Hence the term 2nd hand. China won't be able to get chips directly. They have to go through secondary sources.
Similar to how the US illegally obtained titanium from Russia for development of the sr71.
The US is stopping people from selling high tech chips to China. Have you not heard of this policy?
I tenat to agree that Xi Jing Ping is distracted with retaining power like all the other democractic polticians are. Instead of left vs rights, its ultra left-ist faction against faction, corruption and profiteering in the CCP is rife. Every day enough figure gets sent to death it would seem after falling out of favour.
