    We are US dependent by choice, it’s going to take time, will and funds to unwind this, but I personally have doubts that the US is still the real tech leader.

    In grand scale, accounting for China, USA etc the EU is behind on everything, hard agree. Even german automakers are struggling now.

    US cloud providers - yes you are right. Hard pill to swallow. I agree with you on the count of our general dependency.

    Nokia’s Radio Access Networks - hardware manufacturing is done in Finland and India among other places, software development mostly EU. Hardware design was done to date by sites around the world, but Justin seeks to increase hardware design and manufacturing capacity in the US. And then the teams in US, are they going to prefer to design around and procure components from, say, Texas Instruments or some other European or Chinese company?

    I see Justin’s message as being consequential with his actions, he himself works to increase the dependency, not to reduce it.

    Can’t remember if it was somewhere here on Lemmy or not, but I’ve seen an article analyzing the situation and arguing that the real tech leader might already be China, US is not going to easily give up their position so a lot of kicking and screaming will come.
