This is rational from China's perspective. Divesting in the American technology pipeline not only weakens Americans grip on the global economy but also positions China as the leader in global technology.
Also, we have more evidence of US putting back doors into technology then we do China. If you're living in the imperial core, it's far more likely that the US is monitoring your activities then China is.
Nothing makes that more clear than how quickly the US dropped their bullshit accusations of DikDok once they were in charge of it.
If there's anything to retain concern for it's Chinese companies sharing data with the US gov. On the plus side, that will probably decrease as the US tries to isolate (read: undermine and create a cold war against) China.
