, with revenue mainly coming from "sponsorships", I.e., articles paid by sponsors to be published. Outside of the two actual citations used to point to alternative techniques being pursued, the rest of it links to mainstream media and seems heavily biased in its assessments. To me, the entire article looks like a sponsored ad to argue that the sanctions policy is working and should not be changed. My guess is that since the trade deal appears to involve loosening of tech sanctions, there are vested interests trying to argue that commerce department should not agree to any deal that includes this. Somewhere inside the government, I expect some people will be using this article (among others) to persuade decision makers not to loosen sanctions as part of the trade deal.

I suspect the money for sponsored articles is 100x to 1000x what you'd get from ad revenue for real topical news articles. And it's not easy to stay alive in media unless you have at least one sugar daddy. It doesn't matter what business you're in. Anyone would kill for a sponsorship. It's true in sports, fashion, music, social media, and it's sure as shit true in regular online media (topical or not).
