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.

Reply to comment by tree_with_hands in My mother's ~33 year old Whirlpool dryer. Still works amazing! by vocke
New driers break every 4 to 7 years. I doubt the energy savings offsets the energy and ecological cost to dispose of the broken drier and create a new one.
I’m sure manufacturers could build driers with modern tech that could last over ten years but the majority don’t.
