Bet you didn't know that.
We are also the source of 90% of designs of complex chips.
Intel is still the leader in this realm, but they have offshored over half of production and much of the low-level design. Still, "they make the machines that make the machines".
a violation of market principles.
Oh great, now we are being lectured on capitalism
by communists!!!
China a wahwah can both take a flying leap
Yep. Communist bureaucrats said that with a straight face.
“The U.S. uses state power, under the so-called excuse of national security, and abuses export control measures to continuously oppress and contain specific enterprises of other countries,””
Damned right, and you will LIKE it, sonny boy, or we’ll nuke and EMP your commie ass from space. Deal.
Breathtaking. Simply breathtaking. The arrogance. The hubris.
I have nothing against the Chinese people, but I despise and detest their government. There is no evil they are not capable. of.
Dear Bejing,
As an American citizen and consumer, as of the first part of this year, in response to the slovenly street vendors and lavatory specialists posing as scientist cousin to the 3 stooges, I abstain parting good money for direct products from the Communist People’s Republic of China.
Huawei =’s backdoors...
So they’re going to ramp up fentanyl shipments?
What is that saying about what you know when you are drawing flack??
Watch for more of this as China starts to feel the heat on a global basis.
They are on the short end of the economic stick, but they do hold some cards, prime being the producers of most pharmaceuticals globally.
IMHO, it should be a national-defense priority to start re-shoring as much of that capacity as possible, as soon as possible, which is easier said than done. One bottleneck? We have been training university graduates in “women’s studies” and “gender studies” and “woke studies”. China has been sending it’s best and brightest, yes, to spy, but also to train thousands of chemists, who are needed to run those fermentors and reactors that are needed to produce modern drugs.
China relies on exports more than Saudi Arabia relies on oil.
The Chinese can take a slow boat to hell as far as I’m concerned.
We may have to bring Freedom to China sooner than expected
Chicom bump for later...….
I thought the food chain worked pretty well before the Huawei 5g enterprise came into being.
China rarely makes any sense but they sure can make trouble.
Everyone commenting here seems to be missing the fact that China is threatening to disrupt the supply chain.
If that happens, we ain’t seen nothing yet.
This IS the Third World War, it’s just not the way we pictured it.
It may have begun with Trump’s tariffs. After all, the four clothing manufacturing centers in Italy were established by China to avoid the tariffs. China CARES about this. Xi just asked to reopen negotiations on the trade agreement and Trump gave a firm no.
Only reason the Left is not attacking Trump for this is then they would have to admit that the bioweapon release was intentional.
They’ve tried to kill us with their manufactured virus, but who will they steal ideas from when we are gone?
