Default Re: Substituting for Chinese-made components and modules

The (UK) company I work for creates and sells software for design of memory chips. It's a rather niche market but quite a good one; until recently we didn't have any business in China - but with Trump's trade war we suddenly found the Chinese very interested in buying our stuff (and the fact that we are not US-owned).

Which helps keep our 30+ UK R&D team employed, most of whom are in the NE of the UK where those jobs are valuable. So the UK can and is selling high value goods to China. The current anti-Chinese rhetoric is not helpful keeping that business going. You want British manufacturing and design, well please start by supporting us, and not vilifying the customer.
