Researchers are trying to prove that "Tech decoupling" is absolutely bad for China.
It means that the United States does is correct, and they need to continue the "Tech Decoupling" policy, it will help them defeat China.
Biden and his advisers should read SCMP every day

SCMP is just quoting from a research from Peking University.
Were it says is a demonstrator? In fact the article you posted is saying the contrary, the sales has surpassed the company ability to make more machines to fill the demand.
A lot of fuss over a 8 pages non-peer-reviewed no sources cited article that could have been written by a 3rd year undergrad in two afternoons. Tech decoupling is obviously bad for China. That's why China needs to develop it's trade links and builds up its military so tech blockade becomes the only card US has which makes it unplayable.
Except it’s not. Tech decoupling is bad for both US and China, but it’s obviously worse for China given that US is still stronger overall. China needs to attract global talent, build up an alliance system for international cooperation in R&D.
More R&D is important but its easier to build 5,000 nukes than developing a complete semiconductor supply chain. Once you have 5,000 nukes and a strong conventional military the only card US has to prevent a Taiwan takeover is a tech blockade, so they must hold onto it, which gives time for more tech catch up.

Cherry-picking articles is easy (click to open them as sometimes, their titles don't display correctly in this view, especially links 2 and 3). See, check this out; took 3 minutes:
Too many. But cherry-picking articles is just like cherry-picking economic data and that is that it misses the big picture, which is that China has everything, despite being banned in many things by the US, which means that when something is banned, China always makes it itself. Almost every STEM whiz in every school in every open country is Chinese, so how does anyone figure that a country full of them can fail to make what their lackie classmates can? It's just funding and necessity. If you want to cling to an argument with a short shelf-life before it expires, you can try to cherry-pick, but if you have confidence in the truth that the future holds, you always look at the big picture.

Whether tech decoupling ends up good or bad for China depends on China. Obviously China is the underdog in tech and lags in many ways, and it has problems attracting overseas talent. However if China makes an unusually strong effort to stimulate its basic research, grow its talent pool, support innovation, support cooperation between government, business, and academia, fix its demographic issues so it will continue to enjoy the advantages of a huge market, and work with non-Western partners who are willing to work with it, then China can still achieve parity and even benefit from tech decoupling by developing its own independent ecosystem which it otherwise would not do.
East Asian countries are the most prominent non-Western countries to develop modern advanced economies in the modern era, but the problem is they have done this by piggybacking off Western basic research, and thus beginning from the Japanese, have a reputation for "copying" but not making new breakthroughs on their own. And thus whenever the West decides to throw them overboard, they are helpless just like the Japanese were. China has a chance to correct this and create a new basic research base and ecosystem. However it will require an unusually strong effort and I think even greater than China has been making thus far.
