It's hilarious how far ahead they are of America and that America's entire strategy to stay ahead of them is just to straight up deny reality.
Wonder how long it's gonna take Americans to be confused about why the rest of the world gets reliable electric vehicles for $10k but in the greatest country on earth it's $40k because affordable electric sedans would kill 3 separate vehicle markets.
Protectionism is a good strategy if it's accompanied by industrial development.
The "onshoring" campaign has been a flop, though. All the development has been sucked up by AI grifters, there's nothing productive being built to actually counter Huawei. It would seem this stage of capitalist development is actually incapable of further development.
Ehh kinda skeptical of protections in general feel like people should be able to get the best product regardless of who makes it but that's more of a discussion about how ubiquitous "the state" is.
Although I totally see how it can be a benefit and like you said it's way different to charge extra for a foreign competitor to increase competitiveness of a domestic equivalent but when the options are "pay a 100% tarrif and go fuck yourself or just go fuck yourself" I'd hope even the most burger brained liberal would start formulating some questions.

Definitely many decades still. Americans are still shocked at how developed urban cities have become in developing countries and those countries have modern medical equipment in hospitals and clinics lol
Their barbaric social credit score incentivising being normal, our noble credit score which arbitrarily gains or loses points every month and determines whether you're worthy of accessing housing and transportation.
ooops, there was a hard check on your credit, -50 actual credit rating points, sorry this will affect your job prospects and ability to find a place to live
typical cope from a western chauvinist in denial about their own decline. maybe you could cry yourself to sleep with a thorium salt reactor or a hypersonic missile. oh wait...
In a scene from the The Rings of Power, Amazon's lavish but somewhat unloved Lord of the Rings prequel, a mob of sword-wielding, scaly-faced orcs go at Sauron like a table of famished diners at a bloody steak. Seemingly vanquished, the wannabe Dark Lord pulls off a disappearing trick only to return as a misshapen tangle of black fibers, gorging on vermin and eventually people until he is rebuilt in human form, albeit unrecognizable.
Nevertheless, Lum says a new baseband board was introduced this year, one likely to feature components from SMIC rather than TSMC. This follows a redesign of about 15,000 printed circuit boards to accommodate the inferior chips, he told Light Reading. "I don't know of any other company in the world that could have redesigned 15,000 boards in a couple of years," he said.
I've always hated Xiaomi's custom UI despite their great hardware. Huawei was a good balance back before the sanctions, though if you can't live without google stuff Honor phones are the "successor".
