That’s ok because the front-company called “O-rings” supplies the west with all of the component parts for their hi-tech weapons as well.
Makes sense for both.
Good for Russia.
Chips is chips.
Dog bites man.
It’s a simple display of capitalism, nothing here to see. Pray harder.

I guess they learned from us buying all the titanium for the SR-71 through back channels.
China has plenty of corrupt and greedy people and companies.
Well, they need something to spend the extra $100 Billion that they made last year from the “sanctions”. The sanctions are by far the biggest welfare payment ever made to Russia. And guess which country is paying the largest amount of money through the higher energy costs comparing 2021 to 2022?

“Due to their low costs, minimal power consumption, and lower heat generation than their competitors, ARM processors are desirable for light, portable, battery-powered devices, including smartphones, laptops and tablet computers, and other embedded systems. However, ARM processors are also used for desktops and servers, including the world’s fastest supercomputer (Fugaku) from 2020 to 2022. With over 230 billion ARM chips produced, as of 2022, ARM is the most widely used family of instruction set architectures (ISA) and the ISAs produced in the largest quantity.”

Yea, that’s the funny thing. We keep hearing how Russia is getting ‘crushed’ in the economic war, yet somehow there aren’t any reports of things like inflation, shortages, hunger, homelessness, the price of eggs, etc.
Take the L and go home.
These foolish little kinder make this conflict out to be the biggest since the invention of the wheel.
Its a farce, fraud, crime brought by their lying hero Brandon.
No strategic importance what-so-ever.
BUT, the Asian/Pacific rim? Vastly important. Why? Because Taiwan is ground zero for semiconductors. That country falls, and China will own a huge portion of that.
Not to mention all the raw strategic minerals imported to this country from other Asian countries as well as Australia.
Right now, if Taiwan was to fall, this country grinds to a stop in a few short weeks.
Hopefully, they get that chip plant built and running in the USA in short order.
Seeems like I read a few months ago that something like 167 countries refuse to support the US sanctions placed on Russia and Russians.
