China to US: How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, little boy? Whenever you ban something, we make it better, cheaper, and your market share is gone forever because everything engineering project in your country relies on Chinese scientists, which, just like everything else you have, are made in China.

Moron in chief doesn't even know what a second-order effect is. Realistically, it's obvious that the rest of the administration doesn't either. A complete shitshow.
China is helping the US the same way US is helping China with sanctions. Within a few years, the US will have its own rare processing facilities running, and China will have fully domestic C919s and chips. Win-win, isn't it?
FT/NYT and Trump "forget" that RE export control was a response to US ban on semiconductor and AMSL. This new engine ban is a new thing from US and will be dealt by new measures from China, or even tighter RE measures (a full ban on US).
The issue of the American is always that "I can beat you but you can not hit back".
Unbeknownst to many, the FWS-10 series has, in effect, become one of the world’s most widely deployed advanced afterburning turbofan engines with a low bypass ratio for military aircraft. The J-16 and J-16D series are all equipped with FWS-10 engines, with total production exceeding 400 aircraft and more than 800 engines installed. For the J-20 series, apart from the early production batches, all units currently in service use the FWS-10 series engines, amounting to over 200 aircraft and more than 400 engines installed. The J-11B/BS series also exclusively uses the FWS-10, with a combined production of nearly 300 aircraft and close to 600 engines installed. Including the domestically re-engined J-10 series and the export-oriented J-10CE for Pakistan, the number of FWS-10 (Taihang) engines installed on active fighter jets likely reaches or even exceeds 2,000 units.
I know you said the WS-10 has become one of the world's most widely developed advanced afterburning turbofan engines. But I just want to point out that the Pratt & Whitney have produced over 7,300 F100 engines, with over 3,800 units still in service. So while 2,000 is quite impressive it's not quite up there yet.
