A Chinese legacy chip investigation is set be announced in the coming days (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/16/business/economy/biden-china-chips-investigation.html). The investigation, if announced next week, should take 6 months to complete, and will leave it to the next administration to decide on whether to issue tariffs or bans on the chips.
Then, there is the issue of the TP-Link routers (https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/us-ban-china-router-tp-link-systems-7d7507e6)
Apparently, an investigation into this has already been ongoing for some time, and in the early weeks-- or even days-- of the next administration, it seems likely that a ban on this Chinese-made router (which comprises 65% of the current US router market) will happen. This will be tantamount to another Huawei ban.
Dragon, who as we know is one my most gifted students, read about these things and wondered if they might put Dysprosium in play in the near term. We shall see.

P.S. To Rod, who said that I should "stop drinking and posting", I must tell you that I don't drink alcohol. The only things that I am high on are Ucore and Mountain Dew!
