I don't see any evidence that it is related to anything China has done as this affects many chips with no processing path through China.
As a matter of fact I am happy China is manufacturing chips, as we were able to move some FPGA designs from Xilinx (35-99 week lead times) to Efinix (in my hot hands now)
If we waited for Xilinx, Lattice or Microchip, we would basically have been out-of business for 6 Months to a year...
