he CPUs in some of their phones are from Unisoc who are Chinese

AFAIK you can't make a phone without some Chinese components.

I wonder if that's true, maybe it is. I wonder if Samsung phones have Chinese parts. I think they use Samsung or Qualcomm CPUs, and they're made in Vietnam and India rather than China. Maybe some parts are Chinese, they could well be.

China rules the rare earth market. Pretty much everything that has rare earths (like chips) is connected to China somewhere in the production process.
