Chinese diamond suppliers are still legally allowed to supply global jewelry markets with lab-grown stones. But high-end manufacturing and especially defense contractors are faced with an existential problem: buy finished products from China, or go without, or build the entire industry from scratch.

Blocking the US and its allies from advanced manufacturing techniques and still cutting into the De Beers diamond cartel? Well well well how the turntables...
