While corporate America focuses on mainly profits, "fighting for human rights" are just empty slogan, because corporate America is already exploiting human misery for profits. For government, it's going to be "to prevent China from becoming the dominant tech power in the developing world" that's going to drive this sort of initiative, which most likely will have mixed results or fail miserably altogether. Chinese exports are already driving the non-elite consumer markets in the developing worlds.
Developing world needs an alternative to American tech.
the developing world gave all its manufacturing to China. we did this to ourselves...ask any electronics repair business from 2010-2023 if we are lucky there is a chinese owned warehouse in California or New York that we can get iphone screens from in a couple days instead of weeks. Bring Manufacturing Back to America and this problem goes the fuck away. I live laugh love technology and the Chinese methodology of steal/copy has its merits,but, China has a baked in Quantity over Quality problem that would go away with manufacturing Competition.
I'm not sure competition would help too much. The incentive just isn't good, because companies tend to focus mainly on price, rather than quality. If a factory makes a worse product, but does it for cheaper, then that is what will get picked.

I think it depends on shopper and circumstance.
For some shoppers the cheaper item works. For others wanted a better qualiy item isn't unrealistic, and both are offered on the shelves.
Add to it, you may want a meh quality hammer when you're just doing work that would really wreck a nicer one
i do not like that you are right. the focus on price is too real and I've seen it played out enough times in my work experience. And to make the focus on price even worse, if a mom n pop store buys 1 pallet of a product they inherently have to sell it at a higher price than those cucks at walmart who buy 50,000 pallets of something at a time and can/do literally drive out other business because they can sell said product cheaper by volume.
I laughed at the anti-globalists in the 90s. I now realize they were right and I was dumb.
Redundancy and self-sufficiency are wayyyyy more important than economic efficiency.
Globalization is a good thing. If nations are involved in mutual commerce and trade, that cements relations and facilitates understanding and peace.
What went very wrong was greed. Every single corporation in the world moved to capitalize on China's cheap labour and plentiful workforce. And that provided a lot of power for China and other nations, power they are now capitalizing.
The CoViD scare, with the commercial chain of supply broken, was an harsh recall that having thw entire production sector on the hands of a few of countries comes at a steep price.
Let's reindustrialize. Spread production, have redundancies, competing entities.
This is the best thing that happened to the world in 300 years. The history of the Western World is one of murder, invasions, genocide and imperialism. Now they are finding it harder and harder to invade and murder us as their industrial base diminishes.
Hate to be a downer but murder, invasions, genocide, and imperialism is more of a general humanity thing. China had it's warring states, Japan had Unit 731, and Cambodia had the Khmer Rouge just to name three examples.
Pretty much every large culture, religion or empire in the history of the world is one of murder, invasions and genocide. That's kind of how they get big, and it's in no way unique to the modern (last couple hundred years) western world. History is littered with psychopaths all over the world attempting to conquer the world and slaughtering everyone in their path to greatness.

BRICS nations are going RISC-V - for varied reasons - as quickly as they can (and the EU may well follow suit).
-
China is a huge producer - if not THE biggest manufacturer - of electronics.
Those two points alone suggest a RISC-V revolution, in BRICS and 3rd-World economies, who like cheaper goods. RISC-V cores have been used in microcontroller roles for a while now, and we're now seeing RISC-V chips being used as primary processors.
Just like ARM based chips? From low power to main chips?
Worth mentioning that RISC-V is open source and anyone with the means is allowed to distribute it royalty free.
RISC-V designs are still 3 or 4 years off the pace, but closing fast.
The leap ought to come when the extensions that were ratified at the end of 2021 are realised... 2025/2026.

Never saw such many buzzwords in my life
"In April 2022, the United States launched[...]" yet another initiative to cut off China in order to maintain sole superpower status in the world because the US love their monopolies (as long as they're the one with the monopoly). Then they claim they're doing this for humanitarian reasons. Idiots believe them while thinking they're immune to propaganda and shout down and downvote anyone on the internet that presents an opposing view.
Too bad open source software doesn't exist
Too bad open source hardware doesn't exist either
Lol anything US and China is a big NO No for me
The odds you typed that from a device that wasn't at least in part designed in the US and manufacturered in China are quite low.
True :(
