Good, flood the market with mature chips to gain market share, then squeeze Americans out with competitive pricing.

So who still makes the motherboards for 10 years old tech? It makes sense to do this so that the US sanctions won't destroy too much of industry in China, but equally important is the fact that the Chinese need to be closing the gap quick. Ten year old chips can't do a LOT of things efficiently, include Cloud Computing, Machine Learning, AI, and live Image Processing (from Sats and large SARS / imaging systems)

28nm chips are very new. They are around 2016 era. More than sufficient for 99% of applications.
