The reasoning of the Biden administration is:
The Biden administration has said the measures are aimed at preventing Beijing’s military from obtaining advanced semiconductors.

From what I understand is that the military uses older chips which China happens to manufacture. So the clear aim is to probably cripple consumer electronics and mobile phone manufacturers like Huawei, which it seems they already have in many markets.
Wonder if this will backfire and accelerate the Chinese push into more advanced chips by a couple of years.

Out of curiosity, what is the west gaining by restricting more advanced chips? China can build computers, smartphones, and weapons with the older generation of chips.
Is it to make their chip industry uncompetitive so we don’t become dependent on them?
