I think it's part of the tarrif strategy of aiming for highly substitutable goods. The goal is to inflict maximum pain on the states while minimizing harm to Canadians. So, banning American booze is an easy call because that's super replaceable with a large number of alternatives, many of which are Canadian. There aren't, as far as I know, a lot of great device alternatives that are widely adopted etc (I believe about 2/3rds of mobile devixes are Apple or Google) and I imagine the government is wary of throwing the doors wide open to Chinese devices.

Let the Chinese devices in. Who cares American Chinese they are both spying on us. Let me choose who I want to spy on me. And their devices are getting really good.
