    There’s no guarantee those parts will be open - look at the locked down proprietary chips that come out of Chinese factories with binary blobs for drivers right now.

    Also, they’ll be tariff’d to hell in some countries for what will be MOSTLY bogus security concerns.

    Also, China isn’t stupid. They’re not going to mark their hardware prices at where they used to be - they’re going to put them EVER so slightly underneath the captive market prices AI companies are paying to the western manufacturers. So yes, they’ll be a LITTLE cheaper, but “affordable” is never happening again, and the trendline will STILL go up.
