“In 2021, most of the chips entering Russia were made by American companies like Intel and AMD. Today, those same Western brands still make up the overwhelming majority of Russia's chip imports. The only thing that's changed is the paperwork, which now routes the vast majority of them through China first. Beijing isn't replacing Western technology. It's charging a toll on it.”
