I was looking at it under the assumption that the goal of the sanctions is to keep China away from beeing able to compete in AI not how much they have to pay for it.

Also the money the spend on top is mostly domestic. They can build some more powerplants to run less efficient chips. They can pay their workers and their developers to build it.

“Compete” is an economics term.

Making it cost more is keeping them from being as competitive — which is the point of sanctions.
