The rule is anything with more than 25% US IP content requires a license to be sold to a "listed entity". This applies to companies no matter what country they are domiciled in, like ARM Holdings domiciled in the UK. Break the rules and get put on the "listed entity" list yourself which is close enough to death for a technology company.

The entire world understands that technology is also military capability, so therefore a munition with access restricted to those who act as enemies.

The Obama administration, FBI and Cyber-Security built criminal cases against ZTE, Huawei and and long list of additional not yet disclosed Chinese firms which can all be made "listed entities".

US policy toward China regarding IP protections etc, did not change with Trump and will not change when he's gone.
.

China can become the king of the banana republics, much like New Zealand became the king of backwater Polynesian Fiji-class dictatorships.

If they want to join the world of advanced nations they need to play by the rules and drop their Orwellian Emperor society, otherwise no one will play with them to any significant degree.

China is not dealing from a position of strength. Xi may realize this but too many comrades do not, so no deal will be possible until China can accept different terms than they have been seeking.

When China withheld "rare earths" from Japan in 2012, it placed everyone to work building stockpiles and a crash program to develop new cheaper, safer, more effective methods to separate "rare earths" all based on the difference in their atomic weight ready to be put into production by next year.

US "rare earth" ore is 25% "rare earths" while China's "rare earth" ore is 0.625% "rare earths". China's only intellectual property in extracting "rare earths" is massive and indiscriminate environmental degradation and disregard for the health of their citizens. Not a position of strength.

Part of China's sprawling "rare earths" mine in Jiangxi - the only IP employed treating Chinese citizens as expendable animals.
