What is to stop people what, pulling the chips of GPUs and selling them to China? Probably not lucrative enough to risk the legal consequences.

Pretty drastic consequences
BIS doesn't have the budget or manpower to track consumer-grade GPUs end-uses.
Weapons for raging conflict is vastly different.
These sanctions are more political than practical anyways. They're not actually stopping shit.
Eh, they’re definitely making it harder to acquire, which makes it more expensive.
its slows them down , since they cant buy up in bulk by buying up pallets and pallets of cards , and have to buy through black market where cards likely pass by several hands like a faucet. Getting cards into China via Vietnam and Thailand are going to make serious coin to those resellers that buy them and import them illegally. They have over 400k kilometers of rivers and lakes that facilitate moving goods invisibly super easy not counting ocean.
Unless you are the law.
