As the Nike Asia, a national and international edition of the Japanese daily newspaper with a circulation of around 3 million, now reports that Russian companies are circumventing corresponding US sanctions and blockades and continue to import large quantities of chips and chips, particularly with the help of China and partner companies based there based high-tech products “Made in USA”.As soon as a corresponding company is sanctioned, the next one is created.
Russia imports US high-tech worth 740 million
According to this, an Indian market research institute determined that Russia imported US high-tech in the amount of over 740 million US dollars via China and Hong Kong in 2022.Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments and other leading technology companies are said to account for around 70 percent of the goods.Like the Russian daily newspaper Kommersant reported, Russian companies imported around 782,000 CPUs from Intel in 2022 alone.

Over 500 companies are on the US sanctions list
US technology companies have to comply with a US sanctions list that includes more than 500 Russian companies.Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments and others emphasized that they are complying with US guidelines, but the authorities alone cannot understand this, according to the Nikkei Asia report.
Russian companies advertise with US high-tech
The fact that US chips and high-tech products based on them will continue to find their way unhindered to Russia is also supported by the open marketing of various Russian companies.This is how the Russian distributor advertised, for example 3Logic Group most recently with the availability of its servers based on the latest AMD Epyc processors of the current generation Genoa.
