These export controls increasingly look like "tax".

  The White House said the US government would take a 25 percent cut of the chip’s sales, similar to a deal with AMD and Nvidia earlier this year that allowed them to sell lower-powered AI chips to China while paying the US government 15 percent of the proceeds.

Technically, yes. The CCP, though, wants to incentivize Chinese firms to use domestically-manufactured chips.
