> I can’t get out of their ecosystem fast enough.

I don't know if you mean this literally but to me it was very simple. Just stopped buying their products. I am still alive, productive and with a clearer consciousness.

Is there anyone who isn't dependent on Chinese labor or the Chinese market? How are the Android vendors in this respect?

From what I can see the entire world is completely addicted to China as a cheap source of medium to high skill labor and as a place where manufacturing can be done with little environmental regulation.

Your view matches what I can see from here too. And there's so many things you simply can't buy if you want manufacturing done in an ethical manner, no matter the price you're willing to pay.

I mean you don't really believe that OP is actually on the apple ecosystem do you? And that this one thing is the straw that broke the camels back?
