That is all old hat, seen articles like that years ago, this publication is probably trump inspired.
It is true in some cases, but then Apple products are made to high quality standards in China
or so they claim.
Secrets revealed, sure, but sometimes they will take things and improve on that.
I am not that happy about patent systems and maybe that is also why I am for open source software.
Japan in the past also did a lot of copying of US inventions, but significally improved on some things
and became a powerful competitor.
All the zillion dollar silly fights between Apple and Samsung.. over what a stupid box looks like...
That is not good, only good for lawyers.
Make something better, sell it, if it is better then people will buy it.
If it is better and / or cheaper I do not care _where_ it is made.
Improving on things is a way forward.
Chinese are cleaver enough, quite possible their processors will take over eventually from Intel, AMD and ARM.
Bit of industrial espionage, so what.
US got the rockets from Von Braun by bombing Germany into surrender.
trump plays a dirty game by locking up an Huawei executive.
'By any means' is a better description of the state of affairs.
Bit of climate warming and all of S America will move up north for survival, no wall can stop the trillions.
and what now is US will fall apart and become a wildernis ruled by warlords and all those cities....
like that planet of the apes movie where they find what is left of the statute of liberty in the sand on a beach..
hehe
:-)
Climate; an other glacial period will then come, and if anybody is still left
the US cities will be dug up and the ipads found, and they will wonder..
Oops getting carried away here.. better stop.

The article is overly focused on Far East
Hungary and Serbia are good alternatives where quality is somewhat better , and for the European it’s only a couple of hours flight away
Even Mexico is an option, but your chief Trump won’t like it

Maybe not; Huawei was complicit in falsifying export documentation,

set up dummy companies to bypass restrictions on Iran. Maybe
China wouldn't prosecute, but Huawei executives who go abroad
on work trips, are subject to the local laws.
If a US company cheats abroad, US law does NOT protect them at home.
Lockheed, in 1995, paid a fine of $25 million, and had an executive jailed,
for bribery in Egypt.

trump is extremely stupid at that, as what he does with Huawei and China will cause China to make their own 5G chips

No more US export to China and for example China no longer recognizing US patents

Talking of which, re your comments a while back about // IO at speed
from Raspberry Pi, I now have a set up where I can read into a Pi4 at
16.6 M byte/s and write from it at 23.4Mbyte/s, no Kernel stuff, just
plain C code bashing registers. I've seen a lot of talk of being able to
go faster but no evidence !
It needs an FPGA with 100MHz clock at the other end.

Boris Johnson would be a leading contender.
Nigel Farrage is no less of a twit, but less upper-class. He went to Dulwich College rather than Eton.

Maybe I know more about UK than you do.
Such a mass confusion going on there these days,
if not always.
The complete idiots bring out a 50 pound bank note showing Alan Turing
after they chemically castrated him because he was homosexual;
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7248383/Britains-WWII-code-breaking-hero-Alan-Turing-face-50-note.html
Now how completely idiotic can you get?
Would he have bothered to crack Enigma if he knew what UK would do to him??
Anyway genocide and then later apologizing for it is the normal for humming-beans it seems,
Not only the Brits.
It is all the same silly game over and over again,
same movies over and over again on UK satellite.
Not much creativity of late now?
The extreme glowball warming will cause it to sink beneath the waves,
the song will have to be modified to 'Britannica ruled by the waves'.
They sold the crown jewels, ARM that is, to Japan.
Most stupid thing they could ever do.
As to the UK in the EU, trumps agents manipulate UK politics in a big way.
And then there is that Julian Assange story...
And the border with part of Ireland.
Was the UK ever IN the EU? Dunno, many many years ago
I discussed that with somebody in France, was asked about it,
my words were: Les Anglais, il ne veut pas.
UK never adapted the Euro, so always were a bit of an outsider.

I have not ordered my Pi4 yet as the 4 G memory version still has a lead time of weeks here.
Maybe I will just buy a Chinese computah instead ..
If you do that bashing registers, and still run a kernel then you need to take into account the task switch
that will interrupt transmission for a few ms on a regular basis, so you need a FIFO,
and your average speed will go down.

I think a 32Mbyte SDRAM is about right for the buffer. Might be OK with
a 4Mbyte SRAM but they don't cost any less and need more pins.

The average Brit thinks the idea that the US has any input on brexit is just funny. Some topics the US has plenty of say on, certainly not that one.

Oh, I have encountered that so many times. Asking SW guys why on earth they need a 120MHz processor for a simple task. Often they only think in RTOS crap that wraps many times lower performance umbrellas on top of a simple real time task that by the way could be done without CPU heavy resources by intelligent use of say a comparator and timer

The US strategy is to destabilize Europe
For that trump sends his agents to Europe and elsewhere
to stir up ultra right and create divisions.
One of many reasons US wants to destabilize Europe is to weaken the Euro
as it is about to take over as the global standard for trade,
together with the Chinese Renminbi.
When the US dollar fails then buying more US debt is a nono for other more powerful economies.

nowadays clients expect embedded software to be switched-up and modified
on a dime "agile development" just the same as the Android app devs do.
Yeah you can pitch some comparator/timer solution and that you're going
to roll with a waterfall-development paradigm like you're designing a
high-reliability atomic clock oscillator to exacting specifications,
carefully optimized and set-in-stone at the outset like it's 1983 the
client is just going to bail on you and go with the first dev who
mentions something about Ruby on Rails

The cost of failed IT projects goes in the hundreds of millions.
Like for example the tax system here

It seems the more clueless they are the more they can ask
as it then takes forever to do anything.
Anyways dinos died at some point.
It is the same with all those big analyzer boat anchors,
with a simple DVB-T stick you can often do a lot [more].
You see Raspberry Pi getting the same or more functionality as big power hungry desktop crap.
Much of that IT stuff is so silly that a better network could be set up by some students
for a fraction of the cost in a fraction of the time.
Did not some students do that for Obamacare a few years back?
Do the whole website interface in a weekend?
Bottom up, not that company that teaches you to be a programmer in 3 weeks (was recently in the news).
I sometimes see websites (often actually) where I think those that did that worked on.
Slow as molasses.
Just like anybody saying 'teach you electronics in 3 weeks', I would stay miles away from that.
Integrated hardware will replace most of that general computing stuff.
Writing software that works first time does not need a weekly upgrade,
if you had a house build and it had to be partly taken down every few months (weeks???) to fix problems
what would you call such a builder?
But for software ? Sure, you can even get a subscription, it is the MS way now ain't it?

China is certainly on the up in world political power. China has plenty of long term strategy, the UK has none other than gradual self destruction. China still has quite a way to go before it becomes a real threat though.

We do millions per year, so we can spend many hours saving just a few cents. In this case we are talking about above a dollar

The Euro has a rather stronger and bigger economy behind it. Coping with the economically weaker members of the monentary union presents problems, but federal states have coped with this for centuries now.
NT's idea that it is doomed is about as reliable as his other ideas.

One of Jan Panteltje's many delusions.
There's about 10 metres of sea level rise in the ice sheets that are likely to slide off into the sea over the next couple of centuries.
That wouldn't even sink the Netherland's beneath the waves (and it is the country with the lowest highest point). The UK might shrink, and the Thames Tidal Barrier might need extensive reworking, but it wouldn't sink beneath the waves.
