"All subject to strict controls, of course" ... what could possibly go wrong??

On its face, seemingly a poor move.
However, all may not be what it seems.
Here's a thought:
Isn't China supposed to be subversively placing spy devices in components it sells us such as our tv sets and windmill turbines?
Any possibility existing we could do the same in reverse?

China has a lower birth rate than the U.S. Its denizens are older. They simply will not have the fodder needed to pull off an international war.

China does a lot of Sun Tzu ju-jitsu smoke and mirrors, alot of which is to hide their weaknesses, for example the one you have just stated.
When you get past all their hype and word games, they aren't nearly as strong as they'd like to project. Take for example the recent border skirmish with India. They didn't do so hot, it was a basically a draw.
Unless America collapses, I don't think China is a direct threat to the mainland. They are good at remote string pulling and leverage, they will do things like trying to control Taiwan's chip production to hurt us, or lock up all the rare earths where they can or hack and disrupt our network here.
The biggest threat by China I see is if we have to fight them close to their region of influence. Though i think their military hardware is substandard, they can stamp it out so fast that they are doing to us what we did to Germany in WWII and just overwhelm us.
