I can't wait for China to start shipping hardware. I will vote with my wallet and have a chinese GPU, RAM and device. Hell, I would be using a Xiaomi phone right this second if this government didn't block it.

After my last experience with a Xiaomi phone (POCO) I caution everyone against buying them. Full of bloatware, I also kept receiving notifications in Chinese from system apps even though the device language was set to English. Oh and there's ads everywhere, even in the app drawer when searching for something.

After two years and two months it randomly started boot looping, so that's that.

Also check this out too https://dontkillmyapp.com/ because it was always a hassle to keep some apps running in the background, I had to navigate some bizarre menu hierarchies thanks to HyperOS (which makes TouchWiz look incredible by comparison).

Not going to happen. Chinese RAM/GPU will be sold exclusively to Chinese market.
The Corsair kit you linked there is indeed only sold in China.
Why though?

If production can reach high enough levels, why not sell overseas?

Politics.
