Technically they might be fine, but there are geopolitical reasons to avoid chinese products.

I guess you need to avoid using any phone, tablet or laptop then unless all its chips are built in Taiwan. I know Apple Silicon is built there but what about other chips in their hardware?

Some chips are not a concern, but a CPU with its firmware most certainly is. NICs would be too, for obvious reasons.

For example, simple gate chips, or I/O chips are likely not a concern.

Also, many other places in the world than Taiwan make chips, they just make a lot.

For some things, we have more options than for others. It makes sense to make more choices where more choices exist.
