China-supplied components are generally much easier to obtain in other countries, at non-Chinese prices.

“Chinese pricing” is not the only problem. In terms of volumes, you cannot switch to other suppliers “right now”. Even if price isn’t an issue, you can’t quickly switch to non-Chinese sources.

So, in that sense, it is very convenient for China to portray the other side as the common enemy and blame China for all the woes.

In addition, there is another “land” between the West and China. One that can provide energy and “accidentally” fight “the West”.
All this leads to a very unpredictable change in power, the consequences of which are almost impossible to predict.
