no mention of the SMIC sanctions?

SMIC is entirely "trialing edge" process technology-wise. If you want 7 nm or lower for competitive advantage, you don't go to SMIC. Also you can NOT trust your IP to remain secure if you use them.
the shortages are not just in cutting edge chips, it’s ics in general. even mundane things like smart lamps are sold out
