What did Trump expect? That Huawei and SMIC would just throw the towel in the ring?
“Huawei is a ferocious competitor,” Mr. Allen said. “It brings a mixture of very high quality talent, psychotically driven work culture and the deep backing of the Chinese government.”
USA basically declared war on Chinese IT industries more than a decade ago, almost forcing Huawei out of the smartphone market when they had become the leader of it! Seeing how Apple became the richest company in the world on the back of the iPhone, Huawei obviously lost enormous amounts of profits being excluded from that market.
USA is still attempting to prevent China from being competitive, and obviously China is determined on every level not to let that continue, all the way from the top of government over major companies to the researchers and workers. It may not be exactly a war, but it definitely is a very serious competition.
Now China is hitting back for real, because they have the power to do it, for instance preventing USA from having certain rare earth minerals. And the loser will be USA, and that will soon be very clear.
American bully tactics have alienated everybody including allies, so USA is alone on this. And alone USA will lose.

Not gonna lie my best smartphone by a mile was a Huawei I've considered giving Honor a shot a few times since.

My wife had a Huawei phone for 10 years, because she doesn't like the new phones. It took amazing pictures despite it was only a mid range phone. But not so good in low light compared to new phones.
Huawei made insanely high end good looking designs even with their mid range phones, nothing on the market today looks as good as that one did.But it ended up being too slow, and the software was too old, so there were things that simply stopped working.

I think this is overblown. The rare earth minerals can absolutely be sourced elsewhere, it's just a lot cheaper to get them from China.
But yeah, maybe the US will be the loser here, that really depends on how much Trump sticks to his guns. I hope he gets ousted before he can do irreparable harm...

It's pretty much done at this point.

Not flooding the world with more LLM-related slop really doesn't sound like that bad a thing. A nation already known for widespread IP theft is better-equipped to double down on that. Then again, I'm one of those people who resembles that meme about the only network-aware appliance I have being a printer, and being ready to disable it if it makes any strange noises.
