I don't think this is about trade restrictions.

Given the I-Soon leak I think it's incredibly naive to think that China isn't using data from the cranes for malicious purposes.

Why is that particularly relevant?

There have been lots of hacker for hire companies from around the world. You want to embargo India because of Appin, Italy for Hacking Team, Israel for NSO Group? If you are worried about "state-backed hackers" I mean... what is the NSA again?
