Not that they are much in the consumer market anymore but we have been boycotting them since they gave away some secret stuff to the old Soviet Union. I think it was stuff about how to detect US nuclear subs. Ironic they are now being burned by nuclear reactors in the US.

“they gave away some secret stuff to the old Soviet Union”

I think it was 5-axis milling technology for submarine propellers.

The stolen technology was our methods for fabricating ultra quiet propeller blades for the subs. As I recall, the machine for doing it disappeared.
