The point of sanctions is not stop China from using high end or mid level chips at scale. Yes there will always be ways around the rules.

What sanctions prevents is the capacity to build high tech products for mass consumption or use. You can’t setup a factory churning out high end products without the ability to reliably get chips at a consistent quality. Your not going to get chips at that scale on the black market.

Which it never did.

What are you even talking about? They don't have to go to the black market to get them.
