> it's entirely unreasonable to fear the Chinese government more than the US government

Sure, individually. If you think about more than yourself, you should recognise a collective threat that requires a modicum of sacrifice to protect against.

id consider that the sacrifice is the opposite - the local government is a collective threat, and we sacrifice locally built products to mitigate that threat

The local government is made up of the collective. I have a lot more control on what they do than what China does.
