It’ll be good for consumers worldwide. America is not the whole world.
I, for example, am in Canada. We’ve established a bunch of very nice trade deals with China recently, we’re going to end up with access to a bunch of Chinese products that Americans can’t get due to their self-imposed trade war with China.
I think they mean that the US would put trade pressure on countries doing any tech trade with China, not specifically preventing it punishing American companies from using Chinese chips.
Unfortunately the United States is still a big economy regardless of their politics and Manny is right that the US would throw their weight behind anti China policies to the detriment of other nations.
How successful such a move would be is up to debate.
The US is already trying to throw its economic weight around bullying Canada, and we’ve already settled in to an effective economic defensive posture. Those trade deals with China are actually part of it, previously we were supporting various American initiatives to tariff China but the Americans tore up a bunch of agreements with us so we responded in kind. It’s unfortunate but they started it and we’re prepared to hold our own.
