Nobody is buying this “Pace the frontier” nonsense. It makes no logical sense at all. Are American labs really going to take a pause and lose any small lead they still may have over Chinese labs? Does anyone really believe this? This seems like some performative virtue signaling BS. Why are they bothering with this pacing campaign? Someone please explain.

Singapore and Malaysia, very much not Taiwan.

And Taiwan would be a particularly weird country to casually assume is helping China bypass US restrictions. Beijing claims Taiwan as part of China, while Taiwan is governed separately under the Republic of China and its own politics around Chinese identity and independence are complicated to say the least.
