    Not if your government decides to impose tariffs or import restrictions on Chinese chips. The rest of the world will have cheap PC parts but Europe (and to a lesser degree the US) won’t.

    Just look at what is happening with EVs. Europe and in particular Germany is terrified of affordable and qualitative Chinese EVs “flooding their market” because they know their industries cannot compete, especially now that they lost/gave up cheap Russian energy.

      There is even the possibily of no new PC parts for the west as well if the companies go under and China stops exports too.
