That's not how it's currently being pitched though. It's being pitched as Taiwan exports them to US for installation of back doors and collection of tariffs, then reexported to China from the US after they're ready to be installed and provide back doors into Chinese networks for NSA to hack China.

Anyone with a semblence of knowledge in computing should know that these so called installation of backdoors is complete non-sense. Computer chips are specifically designed to perform a strict set of functions. No GPU can magically connect to the internet in a hidden manner. Spying requires network connection and whatever data is being sent has to go through several protocols and layers before they are sent out.
Even windows firewall can detect unauthorized network access and block it, let alone multiple layers of firewalls and checks that high security computers will have.
This is just China using the excuse of a backdoor to stop Chip import from NVDIA. Just like US uses backdoor as an excuse to ban Chinese products.
But I do believe China should ban Nvdia completely. Only with a complete ban can Chinese AI companies be forced to develop the necessary software tools and libraries that are needed for efficient AI training and inference. They should be developing all the tools and software to make Huawei's answer to CUDA viable.

Too little too late:
It is even more impressive if you exclude the imports of energy, raw materials, and food from China's trade. The deductions push China's trade surplus of manufactured goods over $2 trillion. Trump's trade war is a complete failure. According to the WSJ:
China announced the restricted area before the start of the military exercise, which was entirely within the international airspace. It's 100% Japan's fault to intrude into this restricted area and subject itself to China's interdiction.
The US regime is engaged in a relentless economic war against the Europe. Yet utterly incompetent Eurocrats such as Séjourné: "let's prepare for a major conflict between China and the US!"
