What is that going to do after they already admit China is self-sufficient? Is this the same Trump nonsense all the way from the beginning where he said he would buy the more expensive American product in the construction of his buildings if they were available. Plenty of empty US factory space where a US billionaire tycoon could start making the components himself… But then when held accountable for not following through, he blamed China for pointing an imaginary gun to his looking to make every penny he can head forcing him to buy a less expensive Chinese alternative that he said he would choose not to buy?
The whole point of this is because the West is still dependent on the cheap stuff China provides. You’re not going to be in business long thinking about how not to save money. They still think they would rather buy the more expensive alternative if it were available.
No more selling losing money businesses like Nexperia that uniquely Chinese ingenuity turned around into something necessary for Western products? Maybe the West can develop overpriced EV components that China is already only producing and mastering that they’ll then deny China from buying. Still believing the West can only make the best that they hope to deny to China. What a losing business model where you’re going to start a hi-tech business just so you can deny China from buying its products. The West thinks they can recall ships that already sailed.
