Competing is hard and expensive, whereas banning is for sure the faster way to make stock values go up and exec's total package as a result.

Banning worked for China all these decades.

It’s simply because banning removes a market force in the US that’d drive technological advancement.

This is already evident with CNSA/NASA, Huawei/Android, TikTok/Western social media. The Western tech gets mothballed because we stick our heads in the sand and pretend we are undisputed leaders of the world in tech, whereas it is slowly becoming disputable.

The US won't ban DeepSeek from US, but more likely we will ban DeepSeek (and other Chinese companies) from accessing US frontier models.

I am hearing Chinese tech is now the best and they achieved it with banning things left and right.

The Chinese companies are almost always at each other's throat instead of colluding with each other. It's all about competition.
