Unfortunately because of the wonderful policies by sequential US governments, US citizens will not be able to buy Chinese chips because obviously the chips will spy on you just like Chinese EV's, routers, phones, toasters, drones, etc. But all the good things by American tech companies whom totally respect your privacy, like Google scrapping all spirit airlines communication, or Flock camera drones, is just fine.

EU taxes the shit out of Chinese electric cars to protect the automotive industry that failed to innovate here. In fact they've only been adding more and more taxes and fees on anything that's imported, usually putting the costs on regular people.

Indeed. Its a complex topic, but import taxes aren’t a (likely) complete corrupt cheeto emabrgo lockdown.
