At some point we’d have to import TVs from behind the Great Chinese Firewall to avoid unwanted US tech.

Or get a laptop or some other device so the TV has no choice but work as a simple display. We’ve come full circle

The new problem is AI running on the TV taking the images sent to it and processing those separately from everything else, and using that to see what you’re doing and watching.

You’ll have to rip the networking chip out pretty soon to stop them from sniffing out and connecting to WiFi or other devices connected to the internet.

That’s only an issue if someone’s still running an open network near you.

Some tvs will attempt to connect with another and use its internet link if available. Samsung tries this.

This is exactly the point I’m making. Once a few companies effectively own the market, what’s stopping them from programming their devices to communicate with each other without user knowledge? I remember seeing some post about a reddit guy asking why his Samsung (or other smart brand) dishwasher was using several GB of bandwidth daily.
