I'll hijack this point to talk about robotics - I think we agree 1) It's not ideal for China to control production for _all_ of the things we use here.

2) What they already are good at they'll continue to improve at, because of domain knowledge & ecosystem

3) The reason they are ahead in the first place is labor cost & the QOL workers will tolerate (and intentional government investment)

4) The only way around this is for the US to invest into robotics (labor) & subsidize american manufacturing (ecosystem)
