New phone sparks worry China has found a way around U.S. tech limits
washingtonpost.com
As Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was visiting China earlier this week, a sea-green Chinese smartphone was quietly launched online.
It was no normal gadget. And its launch has sparked hushed concern in Washington that U.S. sanctions have failed to prevent China from making a key technological advance. Such a development would seem to fulfill warnings from U.S. chipmakers that sanctions wouldn’t stop China, but would spur it to redouble efforts to build alternatives to U.S. technology.

It's literally just a hauwei android phone lol
Super dramatic aren't they lol!
The hype is that it's using a domestic CPU. It's unclear how good a CPU it is, but apparently it was made with a semiconductor process which is only several years behind cutting edge. That's not really surprising, though, I doubt there was all that much "hushed concern".
I imagine there's also a question of if the Chinese can scale production up at all, or if some precision German machine tool is an impassible bottleneck.
That's no normal gadget...
What can you do with it that you cannot already
Send data to the CCP more faster and betterer.
