[chbot] Component suppliers

[Mark Atherton]

There is a chance that prices from the likes of Digikey, Mouser et. al. 
will go sky-high in the near future because of the .us .cn trade-war.

Apart from Aliexpress, has anyone bought components from any Chinese 
component vendors ?

LCSC seems popular. I have used their parts via JLCPCB, but never 
purchased directly.

Chinese PCB pricing will hopefully hold firm, since none of the 
transactions need to be associated with the US.

Same applies to Aliexpress.

Its going to be interesting to see how the big electronic guys (Sony, 
Samsung, LG etc) manage the situation. They are non-US based, have their 
product manufactured in China, and import to the US...

Thoughts please.
