The boat has been sailed long time ago. First it was the Japanese, then the Taiwanese and Koreans. In the past decade it was the Chinese.

Who's next, Vietnamese?

Did you see the pattern here?

The difference there is that Korea and Japan are treaty allies with the US. Taiwan is not a treaty ally but has a very close relationship with the US.

From what I know, Supermicro is a Taiwan background company, with manufacturing based in Taiwan.

There are zero Supermicro factories in Mainland China AFAIK.
