Beyond parody.
A Chinese company did business with another Chinese company in China?
I’ll be damned. How is this possible?
The Myth of “Consensual” Chinese Manufacturing
Chinese Company #1: I consent.
Chinese Company #2: I consent.
US: I dont!
Isn’t there somebody you forgot to ask?

the US government can only do 2 things: adjust the speed of the money printer, and sanction countries
bomb weddings
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
Sanction printer goes brrrrr
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.
“Ugh! Chyna! Bad! Grr!” -Mike Pompeo? (I don’t know US senator names)
just ban all trade with China, just fking do it, collapse the world economy, do it you fuckers
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
That’s pretty hilarious, regardless of how one feels about the CPC.
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.
the congressman going on and on about “our IP” and “our technology” in the source article reminds me of a naomi wu tweet:
“Knowledge is property” is as counterintuitive to some as “the grass and trees and land that feeds and nurtures you is property” was to others.
When Westerners visited places that didn’t understand the wisdom of one person owning a piece of land and others paying simply to exist on “their” land, the inhabitants were at a disadvantage, but quickly educated at gunpoint, that land taken from them and every “rule” they had been told to follow, broken by those that made the rules.
Likewise, Chinese, with our foolish traditions of scholarship, didn’t understand at first that learning and sharing knowledge was dishonest. That we were wrong not to follow arbitrary rules of learning unilaterally imposed. As studious as we are, it took us quite a while to learn ideas should be owned and rented out, and that “learning wrong” is cheating.
But we’re getting there and have learned to play by those new rules- I even have Chinese patents myself, perhaps I am too Westernized? Imagine that- I “own” ideas? Should I rent my simple ideas out like a slum lord and sit back while others toil? So much to learn.
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
when it bites.Yeah well we’ll put your under extra special naughty list sanctions! How about that?
US congressman sanctions these nuts
