Spot om - Krytron is exactly what I was thinking of. But I kept getting "Kryten" after watching too much Red Dwarf.....
As to Chinese export restrictions - I wouldn't set great credence on controlling anything from there. They manage to easily evade controls on chemical precursors to WMD. Shipping a few electronic components around should be easy for them

If you're talking about an implosion bomb then yes you are probably correct.
However if you are talking of a gun design, and especially if you don't bother with a secondary stage then it should be possible to build something deployable, though admittedly of a lower yield. Remember, they don't need to build something elegant:: anything that works, even if its low yield and dirty, is good enough
