Export controls only bite if China can't shop around. Right now, Beijing's play seems to be to exploit seams between Washington and allies.

Year 2026 (current). Source URL (fddaction.org) and AEI mirror both return HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but a targeted web search retrieved the article content and confirmed the quote verbatim: "Export controls only bite if China can't shop around. Right now, Beijing's play seems to be to exploit seams between Washington and allies. MATCH targets that seam directly." Attribution to Craig Singleton (FDD China Program) is correct and consistent with his published views on coordinated AI-chip export controls. The vote "for" on statement 392 ("Democracies should coordinate export controls on AI chips to China") aligns with the quote, which argues controls only work when allies close the seams (i.e., coordinate). Positive corroboration obtained via web search.
