      The Myth of "Consensual" Chinese Manufacturing

      Chinese Company #1: I consent.

      Chinese Company #2: I consent.

      US: I dont!

    the US government can only do 2 things: adjust the speed of the money printer, and sanction countries

        stop medical supplies from reaching destination, seize gold in national bank, hold enemy assets hostage by freezing them in offshore account, assassinate and/or coup leader, fund and arm reactionary 5th columnists, stoke existing religious/sectarian/ethnic tensions, balkanize, privatize, deregulate, union-bust, force austerity, eat hot chip, and lie

    There’s a 99% chance he thinks it’s the same company as TSMC. Brain goes china + advanced chips = must be our Chinese

      Thank you Comrade Congressman for acknowledging Taiwan as an inherent and indivisible part of China.

    I love that they say this Chinese company is "violating sanctions." by trading with another Chinese company internally. Really feels like these guys are barely one step away from just pointing and grunting at this point.

    One of my favorite bits about this China tech stuff is just how many Chinese engineers and intellectuals the FBI chased away from the country with its racist bullshit harassment shenanigans

      It's extra hilarious if you see by how much they're beating us right now.

        Hard to innovate when constantly trying bludgeon labor and avoid unionization. The fact that so much of the Western world's high tech chips are manufactured in one place, Taiwan, is stupid from every point of view but those living in Taiwan that want to remain independent and the rich who hate workers more than they like the ability to make even more money.

    I've been enjoying this most recent episode of the Huawei saga way too much. We're gonna give them the double secret probation aren't we? Sanction them EVEN HARDER.

    About a week or two after China announced their gallium and other rare earth trade controls, Japan halted sales of train IC cards due to semiconductor shortages.

    I think the West is blindly driving off the cliff of having to do chip rationing and they'll all do a collective shocked-pikachu when it bites.
