I wonder if/when they are competitive, if I'll be able to buy a China desktop.

If you live in the US probably not.

Yeah, if I lived in the US it wouldn't be a question. But seeing as there's no domestic chip manufacturing in my country there's no loyalty question for me; whatever tech I get, I'm ceding some power to a foreign state so it doesn't matter so much which I pick.
