I wish I could buy a Huawei phone here, but I can't because it is banned here. Back in the 1980s, the US govt tried to ban Japanese automobiles, because they were inexpensive and very high quality. The US automotive industry lobbied congress to put tariffs on Japanese automobiles, and they did. People still bought them, because they were reliable and inexpensive.
Now instead of allowing in competition, they just ban it. They banned Huawei 5G telecomm equipment, Huawei phones, and now they are putting trade barriers on Chinese EVs. Trade barriers for Chinese EVs isn't enough, so they are trying to ban the import of those EVs. They are trying to ban TikTok.
In the media, you just see a lot of anti-China, and anti-Chinese hysteria. They are just painting a negative image on Chinese people, and China as a whole.
I don't see why people in China should buy American brands. In my humble opinion, they should stop buying US brands, because they are funding these politicians in the US by making US equity markets go up. These politicians want to play on the anti-China hysteria to win points, so the people of China shouldn't be funding people that harm them and their interests.

China has a history of innovations, look at all the things invented in China, like paper, gunpowder, trigger mechanisms, clockwork, wheel barrows, rockets, magnetic compass, seismometer, rudders for boats/ships, multi hulled ships, etc.

China can produce 28nm DUV lithography machines with 100% Chinese suppliers as of last year. There are very few countries in this world that can produce their own DUV lithography machines in this world. With every passing year, China will be producing more advanced DUV lithography machines, which means they will not have to buy Japanese and Dutch lithography machines in the future. Tsinghua university is developing a SSMB EUV light source, and this will enable China to produce 3 nm, and 5 nm chips in the future. It is actually a EUV lithography cannon.
China has 14 nm lithography machines, and they can technically produce 7nm chips by using multi patterning. The yields are lower, but they can produce 7nm chips by using this method.
China can produce 14 nm chips with their 28nm DUV lithography machines with multi patterning. As of today, China can produce, automotive chips, RISC processors for smartphones/mobile devices, chips for military equipment, X86 chips, 5G chips, etc.
China produces 4 million engineers and scientists every single year while the US produces about 400,000/year. Producing something like a lithography machine is difficult, but if you have many scientists and engineers in the fields of optics, chemistry, electronics, electrical engineering, lasers, etc it will be possible to achieve those goals in the future.
The outcome of all of this is, US semiconductor companies losing market share in the biggest chip market in the world. This will mean, US semiconductor companies will have less money to spend on R&D to produce better chips in the future. At the same time, Chinese semiconductor companies will make more money, and spend more of it on R&D producing better and better chips. Like Kevin said, those Chinese semiconductor chips will be selling their chips in the global market which will take more market share from US companies.

Math and science education is really mediocre in the US. If you want to major in engineering, you have to be good in subjects, like math, physics, and chemistry.
When I was going to university back in the mid 1990s, I would say about 80% of the people in the higher math(Calculus 1 - 3, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, etc), and physical science courses(physics, chemistry, thermodynamics) were mostly foreigners.
In the US, you have more lawyers than scientists and engineers, so this is why the country is at the state that it is in now.

China is the largest market for semiconductor chips, because a lot of those chips were used to make all kinds of products, like computers, smartphones, automobiles, aircraft, drones, smart TVs, and other kinds of electronics. China no longer needs to import those chips, they can produce enough for themselves, and export the surplus production around the world.
Some people may say, couldn't they use those chips in the US. The US doesn't have a electronics industry, so now they have a glut of chips they can't use. This increases the supply of chips around the world, and this drives down the price of chips. This made US chip companies less competitive losing the biggest market for chips in this world.

It's simple, without the market for those advanced chips, research and development will regress, which is dependent on revenue from chip sales. At the same time, Chinese semiconductor companies will only get better, because they can supply Chinese companies, and they are also getting subsidies from the government.
These Chinese chips can supply Chinese companies that make computers, smartphones, electronics, SBCs, industrial computers, network equipment, etc. As time goes by, Chinese chip companies will grow, while US chip companies will stagnate.

Intel is having problems producing chips with nodes smaller than 7nm. I bought a I7-10700k cpu back in 2021, it was a 14 nm node based cpu, and I can tell you that it runs hot. When I use it to play games or CAD, the temperatures go up to 90 ° C to 100 ° C. Operating under such temperatures can reduce the lifespan on the processor. The I7-4790k processor I purchased in 2014 is a 22 nm node based CPU, and it heat is manageable on it.
AMD uses TSMC to produce their chips, and their latest CPU is based on the 5nm node, while Intel's latest I7-14700K uses a 7nm node with multi patterning. The I7-14700K cpu has heat issues. AMD's chips has smaller transistors, so they emit less heat, and they are more powerful. They can put in smaller computers, and thinner laptops.
Intel is losing money, because they can't produce good processors.
