I can see people buying GPU, send it to Mexico, and do the same, then export the chips to China. Since China is already offshoring their production to Mexico, the logistic chain is already there.

Okay yeah that’s fair. But what about say though Singapore (as was earlier in the news I think), or say Mongolia? There are tons of countries bordering China where it would be possible.

it's already happening right now. The loopholes in the sanction regime is pretty big, and virtually unenforceable given the limited manpower and resources BIS/Commerce dept has.
