The difference is both sides want that gas to keep flowing (for the time being at least).
Both sides don't want China to take over the technology to produce state of the art chips and control the distribution of those chips. And in case of a war, no way is china continuing to sell those chips to the US defense dept. The profit is negligible compared to their strategic value. Different goals will produce a different result.
Seems unlikely? Right now Russian gas goes through pipeline in Ukraine to Europe. Either side miraculously avoided disabling it through entire war.
