The only hope for consumers is that Chinese manufacturers pick up the slack, but guess which country western governments ABSOLUTELY don’t want you buying products from?
How much would it matter?
Even if they are Chinese manufacturers, they would want to go with the high-price buyer, which is larger companies.
And if they do keep some reserve for people, out of some long-term-thought or maybe just some morals, wouldn’t they just prefer selling inside China?
Chinese manufacturers would fall outside of the “circlejerk” economy between hardware manufacturers and AI companies, and as such I think AI companies would be less willing to buy from Chinese manufacturers, particularly with Trumpian anti-China policies.
Even if they didn’t, Chinese companies still seem to very much be old-school capitalism - they actually still concentrate on making and selling a product instead of just moving capital around with the customer being an obstacle and excuse.
