It's an open secret in the high performance computing world that China achieved exaflop performance sometime last year but chose to keep it under the radar to avoid scrutiny from US tech policy makers and avoid potential tech sanctions that would complicate things.

US actually did sanction them. They sanctioned at least 7 companies that worked on components for those Exascale systems only a month after the systems succeeded in exascale Linpack benchmark. That's even before Nextplatform reported the existence of those systems. Phytium is one of the companies that got sanctioned in that round.

As for that top500 list, some people in HPC community speculate that China may never submit a system to that list in the future. If China totally stops submitting to it, that list will become incorrect and irrelevant over time.

The new manufacturing facility will promote the competitive power of its local capacity as well as secure supply in the Chinese market, according to Chung Eun Tae, president of SK hynix in China, in a media report published on Monday.
He noted that China is an important partner for SK hynix and the company had been continuing its investment in its existing facilities in Wuxi, East China's Jiangsu Province and Southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.

This is insane:
In addition, individuals or members of groups and institutions involved in "key national technologies" will face a maximum fine of 10 million Taiwan dollars if they go to China within three years after leaving their jobs or ending government commissions without prior approval.

This is basically imprisoning people choosing to go into high tech industries!
