If tech for you means software, then yes, you can decouple from global supply chains with relative ease.

If, however, you look into some other areas of tech a different picture emerges. Global dependencies especially in semiconductors are much deeper. Products built from such components are the same. Decoupling in those domains would be significantly more difficult.

I feel you but although we're not chip producers, we have some of the key players such as ASML in NL, clearly they're just the main player in that field.
