Longevity of global supply chain?

the forward cargo door. Unfortunately it had to come from the manufacturer, (in this case China)
Made me wonder how Boeing plans to make replacements of all the bits and pieces available later in life. Did they in every case obtain the rights and capability to build replacements themselves if made necessary by the demise or disinterest of the OEM?
