The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing; that's just it you're right.

There's no conspiracy where the left and right hand have carefully coordinated this system or conspiracy to protect companies from their legitimate competition. We're not saying this about Taiwan or European devices (even though many of them are better than the Chinese and American devices) and that's kind of "case and point" that it's about more than the economy.

Basically the politicians just screwed up and didn't think through their decisions and effects of trusting a foreign power to do all this manufacturing for important pieces of infrastructure that "think" ... and now there's a problem.
