I guess he's not used to political speech, as he has more technical experience. He needs to get used to picking his words more carefully.

  Not being xenophobic doesn’t require training

    There are at least two interpretations of his words yet you picked the one that's easier to criticize, well.

    Pointing out that there is a concentration of chip manufacturing in one region (or even country) is not xenophobic. It is globalist, and it is capitalist, but it's not xenophobic any more than it is to say that the concentration of social networks coming out of silicon valley is a problem (it is!).

  Isn’t he being politically aware by not naming the Asian country ? Because as a technical person what’s the concern if a lot of chips are made in the continent of Asia

    Asia, in addition to being a continent, is an interlocked geopolitical sphere, with concerns like local wars, which can be amortized over by having factories in several countries too far apart to fight each other practically.

    When you are a CEO of one of the biggest companies in the world (or even just a commenter on HN), even the smallest thing that you say can be misinterpreted by people. Pat said great things, but the newspapers picked the most controversial part of course.
