How the U.S. Stumbled Into Using Chips as a Weapon Against China​

Export restrictions on semiconductors and other cutting-edge tech have become an important foreign-policy tool, but the long-term consequences could be dangerous for America and the world.​

How the U.S. Stumbled Into Using Chips as a Weapon Against China​

Export restrictions on semiconductors and other cutting-edge tech have become an important foreign-policy tool, but the long-term consequences could be dangerous for America and the world.​


Everything they print is stupid brother ansy1968. I was going to go to sleep, but just rant a little bit, I think this is a three part rant!

:confused:

Every passing day, that Mate 60 Pro is a bigger than anyone could have thought, including the Chinese! That's it, this tech war is like neck and neck.

The idea that the West and its lackeys are still ahead in the tech war, does not wash anymore.

Simply because the chip is a means to an end. The chip in NOT an end in itself.

For example, the chat bot or Large Language Models. Whether we think highly of them or not, myself I do not, but the point is, that there is race to develop it, and you must use the most advanced chip available. That would be 7nm, because no makes or has on sale a 5nm AI chip.

They got use what they have today. If they breakthrough, then they grab the market, they get first mover advantage. Using the chips of today and not the chips of tomorrow.

For example, the Chinese EV captures market share with today's chips, then they establish themselves with today's chips. Would companies that have tomorrow's chip be able to dislodge the established market leaders? History tells us no.

To make a long story short, this Mate 60 Pro, demonstrates the most advanced chip for basically everything, excluding high end phones, but this is an high end phone, so this Kirin9000s can cover 95% of all current day uses, and that goes for any industry in a heated competition. And the volume produced means China is in this game. It has caught up, in the most brutal business practical sense.

I have a chip that allows me to do anything you can damn do, and I can make it at scale. That is what really happened with the Mate 60 Pro as we found over a course of two weeks. That means China has caught up, in terms of application, because they got the goods.

:oops:

Now the retort that China still uses American input to make these chips, like so what?

It is like a father who buys his son a car. The son moves out, taking the car too.

The father says, rather annoyed, "I bought you that car."

What do we think the son will say?

"Thanks dad for the car, I will drive back to visit sometimes."

What else is he going to say? He has his independence.

Just because dad bought him his car, is yesterday's news. The son's independence is the real story. Dad's butt hurt is not.

The world has always worked like that.

:D

The third part, I forgot now, guess I am doing a Biden.

Going to sleep.

Australia, Philippines upgrade ties to strategic partnership

Australia and the Philippines agreed to hold annual defense ministers' meetings as the two nations upgraded bilateral ties to a strategic partnership amid rising security challenges in the region.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese signed a strategic partnership agreement with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. during his trip to Manila, the first visit by an Australian leader in 20 years.

The Philippines last month held military exercises near the South China Sea with Australia, its second-largest partner in defense security. It is also one of only two bilateral partners with whom the Philippines has a Status of Visiting Forces Agreement, which allows two countries to undertake joint exercises, high-level visits, dialogues and exchanges.

The ban is fake news it seems.
From the video it sounds like WSJ made it up out of thin air. $200 billion lost from some tabloid news article?

In that case it's definitely done by one of the groups in the US that have an interest in sending a message to Apple.

That story about fabricating Beijing banning iPhones maybe true. Look at how they're saying the ban will have minimal effect on Apple. Covering their assess from a $200 billion dollar lawsuit.
Apple didn't give a f*** about backdoors until they got threatened. Look how fast this patch came out, only days after China threatened to ban them over security reasons. Knowing them, they probably knew exactly how it worked all along.

Looks like the PH is really trying to get as many backers as possible to confront China. USA not enough? Somehow India and Australia had to be added to. That means that this is a US orchestrated move, not a PH move. The plan is for the PH to start a conflict with China, and then the US passes the duty to militarily backing PH to the rest of its dumb minions. A repeat of the Ukraine model.

The US wants the PH to know it has the full backing of the "free world" to f**k with China. When that happens, the PH gets the sympathy of the "free world". ASEAN is expected to side with the PH and decouple from China. Just like what happened between EU and Russia. That is what the US wet dreams about.

Problem with this plan is that only a few countries are stupid enough to follow the US plan to break with China. In the "free world", only Australia, India, SK, and Japan are most actively decoupling. But even that is proving to be impossible to be done without collapsing their own economies. In ASEAN, only the PH is going all the way to FAFO with China. Malaysia maybe next, if the current government collapses to a coup by the increasing popular xenophobic Muslim extremist opposition. Indonesia, we have to wait and see.

US protection to the PH can only be called upon if China launches a full scale attack on the PH first. But if the PH starts a conflict with China, there is no obligation for the US and friends to help. China will never attack the PH unless the PH shoots first. The US and friends want the PH to stupidly take the first shot, so that they can stay out of the fight and apply the Ukraine model on PH. Once China and the PH starts shooting. It's gonna end ugly for the PH. The PH will find out very quickly that the "free world" can offer too little in assistance. Whatever assistance that it gets is still gonna result in dead marines, sunken warships, burning bases, and lost islands. China will get rapped by ASEAN and the West for sure, but they can't do much more to China than what they are doing now without collapsing their own economies. Nobody else except a few clowns want to seen revolution on their streets.

Bro the US don't trust us, just look at our armaments, The US police is better arm than our Army seriously. What the Collective West want from us is a spring board to aid Taiwan or a better narrative just like in WW2 as a road bump so that the American can re arm and the conflict stay in Asia and not the continental USA.

But the neocons are bad in history, they think they can recreate WW2 their ideal war with both Europe and Asia destroyed leaving them Unscratched and served as an Arsenal of Democracy. They forget that their opponent are nuclear arm and are capable to inflicted harm.

They just found out that it is stupid? I thought these guys were champions of the free market? You see, when a government violates the free market principles by using dumbass sanctions, the “invisible hand” will perform and impromptu, gloveless prostate exam on said government.
