macnai: "Luxshare Precision Industry Co., Ltd., commonly known as Luxshare, is a Chinese electronics manufacturing company that supplies various components to numerous major tech companies."
Paul Harvey, in ancient times, used to conclude his story telling with the same penetrating remark: "And now you know.... the REST of the story"
So, what is "the REST of the story" regarding Luxshare Precision Industry, Ltd.?
Luxshare Precision Industry, Ltd has it headquarters in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.
So what? Big deal, eh?
Maybe, maybe not. However, this fact alone leaves out at least one piece of pertinent, if not important, information:
China has intensified AI censorship recently as it applies to domestic AI companies in China.
To wit: Mastering "the art of brainwashing," China intensifies AI censorship
"China has once again extended its policy of censorship and surveillance as it looks to keep artificial intelligence (AI) models in check even as it races to advance the ever-expanding technology.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has introduced more regulative measures to make sure its home-based tech companies adhere to the party’s ideological rules.
All AI firms are required to participate in a government review which analyzes the companies' large language models (LLMs) to ensure they "embody core socialist values," as first reported by the Financial Times last week."

So, my point? Maybe Harry Belafonte's commentary about the unfortunate condition of "the bucket" may have some small bearing on the POET Technologies-Luxshare Precision Industry joint future at least in the minds of one or two Western governments who might concern themselves with anything brushed by the hand of the CCP.
Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell. In the meantime I will keep Harry Belafonte's musical discourse in mind regarding the POET Technologies-Luxshare partnership and hope to see future POET partners arise from the borders of countries not under the scruitiny and control of the CCP.
Just sayin'
