China's grip on humanoid robot parts sparks US supply fears

China dominates the supply of humanoid robot hardware, including critical components like motors and reducers, creating potential bottlenecks as US-China tensions escalate and an FCC import ban takes effect. Linda Sui of SAG warns the US is vulnerable to supply disruptions, while Jeff Burnstein of A3 notes Washington lacks a coherent strategy. Diversifying away from Chinese suppliers could significantly raise production costs for American robot makers.
Why now: US-China tech tensions and the FCC import ban have put a spotlight on America's dependence on Chinese humanoid robot components.
