    I can completely understand that. In the Russia vs Ukraine conflict
    many countries decided to sanction Russia. This might also apply if
    China acts in a way that the USA dislikes (e.g. against Taiwan). Using
    their own hardware will make them more independent.

    I can also see American doing the same to China, so we are currently in
    a phase of "not going to use anyone's stuff but my own." I'm sure the
    tide will swing back the other way soon enough.
