There were articles in industry publications 20+ years ago about dependency on foreign governments for military equipment.

The big counter-argument was that countries with heavy business ties won't go to war.
So, no problem.
In the ensuing decades we only went deeper and deeper down that rabbit hole.
All the while people were looking at a bigger, stronger, more assertive China.
What the **** did they expect?

Especially since we weren't getting friendlier with each other along the way...
