Doesn't really matter if your entire supply chain is in China. Globalist economic ideologues forget to mention this. You stick your supply chain in a totalitarian state with artificially cheap labor costs, and you pretty much have to do as they say.
Good luck sourcing chips for future military systems.

- kerng 7y agoMajority of silicon chips are not made in China - this is one if the big misunderstandings
- remarkEon 7y agoAnd an even bigger misunderstanding is thinking that this negates or somehow neutralizes the fact that so much high tech manufacturing takes place in mainland China. I get it - China hasn’t done complex silicon fabrication yet (at least at scale). But the risk here isn’t a Chinese company replacing e.g. Intel and the US Military (stupidly) putting those chips in their hardware. It’s China MITMing the supply chain as it exists today.
