1. ....“We are in a fierce competition with China at every level, and anyone who tells you differently is naive,” Raimondo told NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday. “All of that being said, we need to manage this competition. Conflict is in no one’s interest.”...
Raimondo said Sunday that the export controls are about national security, not about gaining an economic advantage. She added that the U.S. will remain as hard-line as possible with its most advanced technology.
“We are not going to sell the most sophisticated American chips to China that they want for their military capacity,” Raimondo said. “But I do want to be clear, we will also still continue to sell billions of dollars of chips a year to China, because the vast majority of chips that are made are not the leading edge, cutting edge that I’m talking about.”
She said though the export controls reflect a nuanced and complex policy, selling certain chips to China will ultimately generate revenue for American businesses to invest in further research and development.

2. Poster's comment:
British Victorian poet and novelist Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem called "The White Man's Burden" in 1899. Now China is presented with the "Chinese man's burden" of buying substandard or outdated US goods that will "ultimately generate revenue for American businesses to invest in further research and development". With such a burden, China would be facing the same situation as Sinbad in the fictional mariner's fifth voyage. China would be enslaved by Uncle Sam who rides on its shoulders with his legs twisted round its neck till it dies of exhaustion.
The US commerce chief seems to think that the Chinese are not evolving but devolving into empty-headedness after 5,000 years of history. She can continue living in her world of wishful thinking even if she becomes politically bankrupt like her boss one day. Then she may consider becoming CEO of an aircraft company, selling planes with one wing or none, or one wheel or none, to China to "generate revenue for the company to invest in further research and development".
