Apple Freezes Plan to Buy Memory Chips From China's YMTC After US Imposes Export Controls

For people blaming China here, let’s not forget that it was not China suddenly getting lazy, trying to reduce and restrict their own exports. It is the US trying to restrain the Chinese economy to preserve its dominance worldwide. So this is a “cause > consequence” situation.

Right, because there hasn’t been any kind of intellectual theft going on for the last half century. This is loooong overdue.

Politics 101 is to distract your voter base and blame your problems on a foreign country. Having a common foreign enemy gives power to politicians. China is an easy target due to prolonged media propaganda and historical anglo saxon racism towards the Chinese.

Is China causing you problems in real life? No. Hard-working Chinese people is the reason we have abundant affordable products in the western world. But when the Chinese want to move up the value chain so they can catch up in quality of life, the west is now suddenly saying they're all around an evil country that must be sanctioned.

The west is basically saying to China, "no, you can't design, produce, and sell advanced technology. You must stay as our cheap factory."

Pure racebating here.

Such cheap un-educated one liners from your end.
You ever been into china at all? 99% of the population is Chinese ethnic and mingle only amongst themselves, Why do western countries only be inclusive and multicultural? Chinese settle everywhere in the world build up their own closed out communities in the west, that is factual.

You are only using single sided and very cheap examples, the issue is much complexer then that.

This is clearly a racist based assumption from someone narrow minded only looking at it from their own point of view.

Would not be surprised you are not even Chinese at all.
But i say this, bringing back business to western worlds and accept you going to pay more for your goods is not a bad thing at all alot of people of all cultures would benefit from more work opportunities in the west including the huge amount of Chinese living and working in the west and love living there.

Aside from being a slave state with massive repression of human rights, China has grand geopolitical designs that are akin to modern colonialism. You are either willfully naive or trolling.

It's nothing new for US. They've done this to Japan before. The only difference now is that China has a high chance to surpass the US due to its resources while Japan never really had that potential.

And because China has a communist government (in name only, capitalism in practice), the US has another angle to justify these policies.

The US can say "we're banning chip imports/exports to China because they're a single communist government state" instead of saying "we're banning chip imports/exports to China because we're trying to slow their growth so we can stay the world boss longer".

I always laugh when people think China vs the US is anything other than economics.

Sure, the US made China the villain. :rolleyes:

It's not "just economics" – these Chinese needs to keep technologically in distance – look at their expansive strategy in Afrika, also in Europe over the last decade.

This is a dictatorship country willingly to reign over more than their own country.

And do not forget: Taiwan threat.

So enough good reasons to limit know how export. ?
