Hasn't this been a common trope for past ~50 years? East Asian anything is at least within a few miles to American/European anything, but way cheaper thanks to USD dominance, and that situation renders non-Asian industrial fabrication pointless and unsustainable, and East Asian products win.

From Toyota cars to Sony TVs to TSMC chips to DJI drones. It's been that way for a while.
