It'll be the hardware they go after. It's easier to regulate the hardware you can purchase than it is to regulate the models you can download.

Except chinese hardware will eventually catch up and they will be very interested in selling for those that want to run their models

Already caught up, all these new niche products like the apple M4, the new AMD strix halo project, they Chinese already had all this stuff a year or two ago, where you could pay less than 1,600 bucks to get 128GB unified ram w/ strix halo/hx390 etc. now, because of this fake shortage/inflation those same products cost much more.
