So what does the "age old adage" have to do with anything? It doesn't matter what US policy is if China has decided to make you a defacto state run company.
This is a bizarre and meandering analysis that doesn't convey anything useful.

Not in the military at all. The military asks for an exception each year.

It's state policy on both sides.
Cutting China and particularly Huawei off from access to our tech has forced them to develop capacity domestically, at a state and corporate level. Good for tech in an abstract space race kind of way, but pretty debatable as a geopolitical move.

China is succeeding at securing their industry and supply chains despite (or because of) our Cold War II efforts.
Meanwhile, if Intel is any indication we are consistently failing to secure our industry and supply chains and China hasn't even had to do anything besides just exist.

Money can only get you so far; government money often even less. Yes of course, Huawei and the whole high tech IT hardware sector is strategic, and this is both why the US government tried to kneecap China and why the Chinese government intervened to save its companies. But money doesn't turn by itself in technological progress and most other countries wouldn't have managed, even with the same amount of money.

There's so much poor analysis on the subject which pretends that Beijing hasn't been dumping orders of magnitude more subsidies into Chip companies. Yes Huawei is still around, China wasn't going to let it fail no matter what. It was worth doing because without US withholding western technology the plan was to gradually replace piece by piece of the supply chain with domestic ones. Instead Chinese companies must do a lot more at once which comes at a greater costs.
