>>My problem today is not that repairability laws impede my progress here (they certainly don’t exist in China either).

While repairability laws do not exist in China, Anti-repairability laws also do not exist in China.

In the US we have layers upon layers of regulations to the impede or outright prevent repairs on electronics and other devices.

I am not sure if "Right to repair" is the correct path, or if removing these anti-repairability laws would be a better path.
