The Soviet Union survived because of the Black Market.

Many of those successful in the Black Market rose to power as oligarchs or their minions when the neocons "blessed" newly freed Russia with "shock therapy". All praise Uncle Milty's Law of Unintended Consequences!

Russia learned well from America's earlier attempt to turn it into a client state and has successfully evaded much of the sanctions put on them.

Who should think that the Chinese would be any less successful in evading whatever tariffs or sanctions our neocon oligarchs put up?

As an aside, TSMC also manufactures most or many of China's most advance chips..
