It’s very likely the Chinese go dark too the second they have parity / lead

It's a very valid point, though being cut off from future development is nothing compared to losing current operative capabilities

I wouldn't bet on it. Chinese live the free market ideals instead of just preaching them but rent-seeking and seeking regulatory capture at the first opportunity. In China business doesn't control politics. Dynamics is completely different and so might be the outcomes.
