What are some better alternatives to GoPro available in Europe now? I mean original brands, not cheaper clones.
Does GoPro actually do their own development? I remember reading an article when they were starting up, snd the founder basically went to some expo in a China and purchased OEM devices and slapped his brand on there. Edit: This isn’t the article but it sheds some more light. > Once he had the strap sorted out, Woodman would need a camera to go with it. He eventually found a 35-millimeter model made in China.

What is said in Shenzhen is that original digital GoPros themselves were an off the shelf OEM product, and GoPro never bothered to buy the design rights from their OEM.

Think it's a smart decision, the Chinese market is full of DJI or Xiaomi anyway, so they will not be losing any market share there.
What? The GoPros sold in the US will just be produced in a third country, the article doesn’t say where though. You can still get a Chinese made GoPro in China The interesting bit is where GoPro will get the cameras for the US market produced.
If silicon fab, die packaging, and rigid-flex sub-assembly of the critical camera piece were all done in China, then subsequently forwarded to another country which doesn't have a looming destination tariff threat for final assembly, would this risk still be interesting?
Does all this stuff lately where companies are pulling out of china or the US or the US is arresting heads of companies etc feel like thucydides trap is just getting closer and closer?

What comes after is easy to imagine, they are being put into a very expensive casing, and stamped with their new place of "origin."
You can research yourself how "made in USA" Google Pixels were made

There are an infinite number of shades of grey between “slap brand on an OEM product” and “the full Apple”. Companies often shift their approach (in both directions!) over time, and it will vary for different product lines.
