So if Shen Zhen Tech, or some other CCP backed group was to purchase AL how would that affect the military contracts?

It would kill it.

But why would they bother? There's no novel technology to exploit. If they just want the name, they can wait and pick it up cheap after everything of value has been sold off. Or just license it like Westinghouse Electronics.

Apeks: made in China. Still expensive, just cheaper manufacturing == kerching, happy accountants and bread-heads.

BTW Apeks are working on pricing themselves completely out of the market. Accountants: know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

Apeks isn’t the only one working very hard to price themselves completely out of the market.
When I look at the prices of the other leading premium brands it seems they have mastered the art of obscene pricing and clever ways to justify it.
I always though outboard motors were at the top of the heap of overpricing for what you get, scuba regulators have them beat.

List price for a 30m apeks spoil is £117 or US$150. It is only some string on an aluminium reel, cost of production has to be less than $10 and probably less than US$5, they seem to have the pricing / profit / volume model very very wrong

Sometimes things that are expensive are worth it.

I'll agree with the "sometimes".

I bought a few Apeks spools 5ish years ago at a dive show for $40ish. Very shiny but absolutely not worth the piss-taking pricing that Apeks think it's worth.

The itty-bitty reels gets my goat: £220/$275/€275.
