The nice thing about open source is that you can always fork.

True but in such a situation it should be the last option to use and make sure others will willing to follow or else you're still isolated.
To my knowledge most of the open source community is not antagonistic to China and with where things are headed China will have most of the contributors anyways.

Product introduction: The special DC ion source independently developed by Boton Optoelectronics can be equipped with a multi-layer grid with an aperture of 1.5cm/3cm/5cm/6cm, which can emit a convergent ion beam with an ion energy range of 50-1500eV and an ion beam current range of 30-300mA. It uses a patented hollow cathode structure and consumables, generates little heat , and can be used continuously for more than 100 hours . It supports a movable structure and can be used for ion beam cleaning, ion beam assist, ion beam etching, ion beam shaping and polishing .
Typical applications: DISE DC ion sourceplays a key role in the ultra-precision processing of core key components of lithography machines and laser gyroscopes .
The core equipment for chip manufacturing is the photolithography machine, and the optical . The surface processing of the lens with this precision must be ion beam polished and shaped before coating can be carried out.
Gyroscopes are the core components of inertial navigation systems, and they mainly include wound gyroscopes, electrostatic gyroscopes, laser gyroscopes, fiber optic gyroscopes, and micromechanical gyroscopes. Among them, laser gyroscopes have always occupied a dominant position in the field of high-precision control. The optical lenses in laser gyroscopes have extremely high requirements for their surface shape, and their accuracy determines the navigation accuracy and success . They must also be shaped and polished with ion beams.
This is when the equipment starts to get fun.
