Why America Purchasing American Humanoids Matters
Humanoids are not your average household gadgets, they possess capabilities that blur the line between tool and weapon. These machines can walk, converse, and, if programmed, engage in combat or cause harm. This potential makes their origin critically important. Imagine a scenario where a foreign power controls the humanoids that millions of Americans rely on daily. What occurs when geopolitical tensions rise and that power decides to exert its influence?
Americans should buy American humanoids, just as China should purchase Chinese humanoids. This issue transcends national pride or economic protectionism, humanoids are not merely appliances but machines capable of physical action—able to fight, inflict damage, and shift the balance of power in unprecedented ways. The stakes are significantly higher, with profound implications for national security, sovereignty, and safety. A nation cannot afford to rely on another country’s humanoids, and here’s why.
The Reality of Dependency
Consider the words of Ontario, Canada Premier Doug Ford, who recently in a moment of candor declared, “I can assure you one thing: We’re gonna make sure that we inflict as much pain as possible to the American people.” Now, picture a world where America had purchased only Canadian-made humanoids. If a politician like Ford, upset over trade disputes or political disagreements, sought to “inflict pain,” those humanoids could become instruments of chaos. Programmed remotely or embedded with hidden directives, they could disrupt infrastructure, sabotage homes, or even turn violent—all without Canada firing a single shot.
Convenience Shouldn’t Cloud Our Judgment
I understand that opting for foreign humanoids might seem more financially appealing at first glance, but we must look beyond the immediate cost savings and consider the ramifications for our society. Do we want to surrender our safety and security to technology created without our input? Shouldn’t we ensure that the humanoids interacting with us reflect our values and priorities?
This isn’t far-fetched. Imagine if millions of Americans owned foreign humanoids from a rival nation—and a politician there decided to retaliate against U.S. policies. What are these machines capable of? They could shut down power grids, manipulate supply chains, or physically threaten citizens in their own homes. A humanoid’s ability to walk, talk, and act gives it unparalleled reach into our lives, making foreign dependency a vulnerability we cannot tolerate.
What About Our Say?
Now, let’s flip the script. Did Chinese humanoid companies ask America how they should build their humanoids? Of course not. We’ve had no say in their design, their programming, or their priorities. Their machines reflect their nation’s interests, not ours. This has nothing to do with the Chinese people; we have a deep love for China and it’s people. The focus here is on the politicians and decision-makers whose policies and actions control our lives. Relying on foreign humanoids is like handing over the keys to our security and hoping the locksmith doesn’t make copies.
Celebrating American Innovation
We need to keep these American companies alive at all costs. Their survival isn’t just about jobs or innovation—it’s about ensuring we control the technology that will shape our society. We can’t afford to let them wither while we’re distracted by starry-eyed admiration for foreign humanoid flips, kung fu moves, or dance routines. Those viral videos might dazzle, but they don’t reveal the hidden risks of dependency. Our focus must stay on the homegrown talent that understands our needs and answers to our people.
Supporting them is strategic. Dependence on foreign humanoids risks espionage, sabotage, or outright weaponization. Picture another example: a trade war with a European nation that supplies our humanoids. Offended by tariffs, they could remotely disable millions of machines, crippling our workforce overnight. Or consider a Middle Eastern supplier cutting off updates to humanoid software during a diplomatic spat, leaving us with obsolete, vulnerable tech. These scenarios aren’t science fiction—they’re the logical outcomes of outsourcing something as pivotal as humanoids.
The Possibility of Collaboration
Now, is there room for collaboration with foreign companies or the possibility of purchasing Chinese humanoids or humanoids from other countries? Yes, but we must tread carefully. While there may be benefits in terms of technological exchange and cost efficiency, we should remain vigilant and ensure that our country is not dominated by foreign humanoids. The aim should be to foster a balance that promotes innovation while securing our national interests.
Important questions arise: Are we prepared to let foreign technology dictate our capabilities? By prioritizing American-made humanoids, we create a landscape where our innovation thrives, but we can also engage in cautious collaboration where it makes sense without compromising our security. Collaboration can accelerate progress—sharing ideas, not control—but we must never let it tip the scales toward reliance. Our American companies must remain the beating heart of this industry.
Advocating for Our Future
American humanoid companies understand our values, our security needs, and our way of life. They’re accountable to our laws and our people. When we buy American, we ensure that the machines in our homes, factories, and streets are aligned with our interests—not a foreign agenda. China didn’t consult us on their humanoids, and we shouldn’t expect them to. They’re building for their future. We must build for ours.
This is a call to action. America’s humanoid revolution is underway, and we have the talent, the technology, and the tenacity to lead it. Companies like Figure, Boston Dynamics, Agility, Apptronik, Foundation, Persona AI and Tesla are ready to deliver—if we back them. Let’s not gamble our sovereignty on foreign machines that could turn against us at a politician’s whim. Let’s invest in our own, because when humanoids can walk, talk, fight, and inflict damage, their allegiance matters more than ever.
America must build American—and buy American Humanoids. Our future depends on it.
