might be this, sorry for the wikipedia link
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_New_Export_Controls_on_Advanced_Computing_and_Semiconductors_to_China
the tweet might be specifically referring to the ban of American citizens working in china's semiconductor industry
whether the tweet is an overreaction or not im not super sure, i think based on the information available to many in the west it really did look as if it were armageddon for the chinese chip industry. of course, now we now that wasnt the case and the us pulled the rug far too late
