Wouldn't the countermeasure be declare Boeing a national security risk, ground all Boeings AND ban any from flying in Chinese airspace? You kill a Chinese company, I kill yours kinda deal.

That would just kill China's own airlines. They could force on future orders to be non-boeing, but some of the tech used in China's regional jets are coming from US based companies....

I disagree with this one. The US wants a slow and partial decoupling. It wants to sabotage Chinese companies while still having its other economic relations with China. China shouldn't allow this. For this Hikvision ban, which directly aims to destroy the company, I would come with these three measures.
1- Ban Chinese companies and China divisions of foreign companies from severing their ties with hikvision.
2- Erase a major US tech company from China.
3- Declare that every secondary sanction will be retaliated in kind.

This is a scorched earth approach that would hurt China more but it doesn't give the US its desired controlled and unpainful decoupling. China is the faster growing side. Any relative loss would be recovered automatically with time. Since there are elections in the USA this may truly deter politicians from pressing on. Economics are always substantially more important in elections compared to foreign policy.

Note: The US investment to China is actually not that high. It is like 5% of total FDI into China AFAIK.

Just start killing KFC, Cocacola, McD, Pizzahut, Nike, etc. Cash cows for USA but garbage products that China's society can replace quickly with no value lost.

I suppose the central government will just have to re-route ALL rare-earth products through Hikvision and see if the West are willing to eat the hyperinflation and complete supply chain mayhem that follows from the sanctions as the alternative then.
