They aren't just making their own phones: they're making their own ISAs (Loongarch, which is kind of a MIPS/RISCV mixture at this point), are heavily invested in RISCV as well, and are rapidly closing in on fabbing their own silicon that is on par with what comes out of the west.

The funny thing to me about American Liberal, specifically the Democratic party, fearmongering about China in 2024 is that we have so much more immediate issues to deal with. Like objectively.

We have Climate Change and mass failing infrastructure to deal with (A Green new deal could of addressed it, the Democratic party scared of Republican attacks buried it)

We have cops who will murder you or your dog, cry about it on the news and get a promotion and months of paid vacation (Defunding the police could of addressed it, the Democratic party scared of Republican attacks buried it)

We have massive wealth inequality and class disparity that Nazi Collaborator Elon Musk was able to buy his way into Power (Taxing the Rich at levels Pre Ronald Reagan could address it, the Democratic party scared of Republican attacks buried it. Also Obama basically enabled this with his response to the 2008 financial crisis but that’s a longer discussion)

We have student debt and medical debt crippling young people in this country (Getting Rid of it could have addressed it, the Democratic party scared of Republican attacks buried it after several half measures by Biden)

There’s also the fascism at home and the imperial expansion and genocide draining resources and so much more but you get the point. China ain’t going to destroy Us, we are already past halfway there. Leftist policies actually could have addressed this issue but Liberals wanted to be bffs with the American Fascist movement.
