Huawei on List of 20 Chinese Companies That Pentagon Says Are Controlled by People’s Liberation Army:
The Pentagon put Huawei Technologies and Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology on a list of 20 companies it says are owned or controlled by China's military, opening them up to potential additional U.S. sanctions.
In letters to lawmakers dated June 24, the Pentagon said it was providing a list of "Communist Chinese military companies operating in the United States." The list was first requested in the fiscal 1999 defense policy law.
This list includes "entities owned by, controlled by, or affiliated with China's government, military, or defense industry," Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement.
[...] The companies on the list are:
Aviation Industry Corporation of China
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation
China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation
China Electronics Technology Group Corporation
China South Industries Group Corporation
China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation
China State Shipbuilding Corporation
China North Industries Group Corporation
Huawei Technologies Co.
Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co.
Inspur Group; Aero Engine Corporation of China
China Railway Construction Corporation
CRRC Corp.; Panda Electronics Group
Dawning Information Industry Co.
China Mobile Communications Group
China General Nuclear Power Corp.
China National Nuclear Power Corp.
China Telecommunications Corp.
Given how inter-connected the world is, how practical would it be to avoid all such Chinese companies?

Possibly after heating the water while cooling a nuclear power plant...though that would be tricky, as sea water is corrosive, and you also don't want to expose it directly to much radiation.

Pfffft. Really?? You get lithium from heating sea water using nuclear power, blah blah. I get -my- lithium from CVS.

Gee ... how do nuclear subs work again?

Nuclear subs are highly specialized, and use approaches that you wouldn't want to attempt on land. They also have extremely cost insensitive components and manufacturing. There are a few other reasons why that's not a good argument about it being difficult...which doesn't mean it wouldn't be a good idea, just that you want to approach it differently.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You just think nuclear powered navy ships are 'crazy complicated' and 'totally different' from the nuclear power plants built in the '70s based on the navy nuclear powered ships.
Your knee-jerk reaction is ... utterly wrong.
And my point was that there is absolutely nothing special about using heat to distill water that is then used in the heat exchange system to drive a turbine. The only trivial difference here is that you want an excessive amount of sea water distillation in comparison to subs which spend a lot of effort on steam re-capture.

The navy ships were run under a tight command structure that ensured maintenance was a very high priority. The same design wouldn't work at all well with a loose command structure and maintenance often a deferred expense. For that you want something with a lot better "fail-safe" design. Also, at sea there is always plenty of sea water to act as a heat transfer medium. On land this is a lot less true, though I admit sometimes you want to run subs at low power to minimize chance of detection.
