Something About To Roost?
With all the moves to outsource production to China and thus funding the investment in high technology production methods and teaching them how well they can make things it is to be expected that they would want to cut out the middle men. Snowden undoubtedly provided a nice public hat peg on which to hang the change but the USA reservations about Huawei provided a lovely reason to tie several things together.
So we now have a perfect storm. We have lost most of the production capabilities and skills to China, spent our available investment there, chased a mirage that they had a market we could sell to. For good measure we have also set off a mare's nest of security threats, oh happy days and lost visibility of threats.
Looking on the slim bright side. I feel just a little better that personal and family health issues are making travel that little bit less likely.
