That's what they want you to think, in reality it applies to consoomer products mostly, i.e pajeetsoft Windows desktop OS, crapple mobile OS, Sony/Xbox console OS and so on.
Most servers runs GNU+Linux (open source), IoT devices use GNU+Linux and so on. A lot of commercial use is hybrid projects were 95% of the code is open source, then the devs added 5% proprietary code on top of it.
This here is the real issue, if you build on top of an open source project, any changes you do should be required to be open source too. In case of phones, desktop PC's, consoles and IoT devices, the software isn't the biggest issue, there's a lot of work on the hardware too, distribution, manufacturing, special use cases and so on.
As long as we ban Chyna (and similar countries) companies should have no issues competing on a fair and open market even were intellectual property doesn't exist.
It's not harder than banning all products that doesn't comply with your country's laws. I.e if local companies can't use slave labor, then we shouldn't allow Chyna to export stuff made by slave labor and sell on our markets, simple as that. Same rules for everyone.
