I'm starting to think that this whole sanctioning China may motivate and prompt them to do more and better in every field.
It's too big, bright and resourceful of a country to choose confrontation instead of collaboration.
This has been clearly stated as what would happen going back several decades at least.

That's good. Keep going.
Well the big problem with china is that they do not respect international law when it comes to technology theft. But that argument is very weak when it appears that a lot of what they do is out in the open for anyone to replicate.
Starting? This was obvious way back in 2019, when the US decided to give China a little push developing their own silicon industry.
