For what it's worth, this is complete insanity when practically every mega enterprises' hardware is largely Made in China.

Enterprise hardware isn’t the issue. It’s the software. How much enterprise hardware is running with Chinese software? The US basically bans any hardware with Chinese software that can disrupt infrastructure.
Backdoors in software are much easier to discover than backdoors in hardware.

Any kind of hardware that is somehow connected to the wired or wireless communication interfaces is much more dangerous than any software.

Backdoors embedded in such hardware devices may be impossible to identify before being activated by the reception of some "magic" signals from outside.

Tons of routers, modems, embedded, are running Chinese software
