PC Engines was a Swiss company with Taiwan manufacturing.
Since APU2 schematics are open, rebooting PC Engines as a US company could be initiated by US leadership requesting AMD to restart production of the AMD GX-412TC SoC, until AMD can ship a Ryzen Embedded alternative with comparable power efficiency. The lack of a replacement SoC forced the end of APU2 and PC Engines.
National policy tools are not limited to banning negative examples, they can also encourage scaling of positive existence proofs.
