Your reply comes off a bit rude and not within the tone expected on HN. First off, China is not my enemy. I am a humanist (at least try to be).

Yes, with or without approved transfer of tech to China, China will eventually catch up. Would you rather this eventual tech normalization happen through a process of growing animosity or respectful cooperation?

I don't have a dog in this fight on specifics regarding Nvidia chips. People on all sides will respond as they see fit.

False dichotomy. We have plenty of examples of selling tech to China which eventually leads to the opposite of respectful cooperation. I'm not anti-china but it has nothing to do with any of this. What was the point of bringing it up, it doesn't make your argument any more compelling. It's not within the expected logical standard that is expected on HN.

Let's get back to the original point that you made, which is parroting the idea that selling leading technology somehow prevents China from accelerating their pursuit of it. Do you have any evidence of that working?

> Name a single technology where the US sold to China and China remained reliant on the US long term for it in recent times.

Sure - jet engines. China still can't replicate the material for turbine blade and has to buy them from other countries.

They've had decades from the first aircraft sales to do the R&D to make their own blades. They've failed so far.
