Among the 18 approved processors were chips from Huawei and state-backed group Phytium. Both are on Washington’s export blacklist. Chinese processor makers are using a mixture of chip architectures including Intel’s x86, Arm and homegrown ones, while operating systems are derived from open-source Linux software.

... So? This is clearly different - Intel and AMD can't partner up with a Chinese corporation to sell chips anymore, they're just banned. That's new.

Also? It's the Communist Party of China: CPC

Yeah, I was saying that China has been open for business, but only at certain political conditions. Now these conditions are changing

Also, it's usually CCP in the US, CPC in China, PCC in Italy etc. Depends on your language. Same with the old Soviet Union, CCCP in Russia, USSR in US, URSS in Italy and so on. It's an acronym.

Their actual English name is the Communist Party of China. CPC. There's no reason to call them the CCP. I have theories about why US sources do that, conjuring up Cold War ghosts of the CCCP, but the fact remains that they're wrong.

It's like how, in the US, the Democratic Party is sometimes called the Democrat Party. It's not necessarily meant to invoke hostility, but it very often is a dog whistle. We've just, unfortunately, gotten used to it.
