You're not allowed to buy/resell the hardware to China as an intermediary.

I get the prevailing idea, and I can understand the reasoning behind it. My question really was trying to ferret out whether it was US laws that were violated, Singaporean laws, the initial trade agreement, or something else.

The seller and buyer both violated US export controls, which is against US law.

Why does China care about US law though?

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

They don't, but that wasn't your question.

The intermediaries care. This is very obvious.
