Question:
If you were the CEO of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), and you read this letter and decide that in order to sanction-proof your company you have to de-Americanize your supply chain. Are you playing geopolitics or just doing business?
I personally don't think the CEO of SMIC hate Americans, i think SMIC executives quite like to work with them, but business is business and politics is politics.

US sanctions aren't deterring anyone from buying American products or designing out the United States.
If they don't deter anyone from buying, then they have failed. But they certainly don't deter anyone from designing out the United States, you are correct; they drive Chinese companies to do so.
There just isn't a quality replacement, even years after the first totalizing sanctions
