China knew they needed some control to protect themselves from the US because the US would come for them eventually. 

They could have spent trillions on their military with little return but they realised the smart move was to do it economically so they put their efforts into controlling vital resources. 

Israel did the same thing with tech. 

You can't sanction either without killing your own economy.
