Turns out that pay the Trump admin 15% of sales of advanced chips to China "cleans" them from being a national security threat.

A bit like how the traffic officer decides that you weren't speeding after all after slipping him $100 with your driver's license.

“That’s a nice business you got there. It’s be a shame if something happened to it.

Maybe you could use my protection.”

A crook to the end.

Are any journalists working on this angle?

It depends. Do you want to build anything with raw earth elements in it _before_ the refineries are built, which is going to take about a half decade? Then you're going to need to do business with China in spite of their being a national security threat.

This includes modern electric motors, modern power supplies (like get used in said electric motors and electric cars, electric drones, etc), modern radio frequency transceiver modules (like in a modern radar), among other things.

Putting a tax on them is making the best of a bad situation.

Besides, it's going to the Treasury. Not Trump himself.
