How Putin got there is one thing. How he stays there is something else. China can do what works for China. However we can argue that the proverbial "mandate of heaven" works for all rulers.

Ask @Tam. He posted T/R radar element photos of Russian AESA designs with American chips visible.
I believe taking Kharkiv and Mariupol should be priority to break Ukrainian morale. Also, being so close to Russian border means it can be meat grinder for Ukrainians if they try to retake and the long distance means difficulty for Ukrainian supply lines.

Still, compared with volume of civilians chips is still droplets in a ocean, apple alone probably consume more advanced chips than U.S military. The only problem i see is that making high end fab to serve a small niche market like the military is not profitable its have to be subsidized by the government or couple with civilian chips.
