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

LOL. Two words -- North Korea.
Seems like American propaganda is working well. People here actually believe that modern China could only copy/steal.
Also, people forget that just 200 years ago, China had a higher GDP than Europe and the US combined. This significant advantage was eroded by drugs, colonialism, and wars. Unfortunately, people still think that the rise of modern China is a fluke and only because they steal US tech. You can argue that China is simply regaining its world status that it had before it was eroded by the West.
There is no doubt that China is behind technologically today. But let's not act like espionage is what will allow China to catch up.
Agree. Although China is probably the most impacted by the end of globalism than any other nation. They rely on food and energy imports, and everything they manufacture relies on business and technology from other countries.
Given that they can't/won't have immigration, and their demographics are horrendous in terms of too many old people and not enough young people, the end of globalism would be the end of China as we know it.
The greed of the West will ensure manufacturing is never moved to the West.
This would mean that somebody else will have to stand down the value chain and nobody wants that. There is a reason why nobody can become a superpower just by being a wise monkey on a tree if you know what I mean. Great Britain has mastered this to almost perfection through their "agents of influence" since they did not have any natural resources but even they are really struggling to maintain the status of any sort of "power".
China only uses communism as a way to organize their society and totally missing the missionary aspect of it so they really don't have anything to offer to the world in terms of equal and fair ideology for all.

Apple has frozen plans to use chips from one of China's top memory chipmakers after tighter U.S. export controls were imposed on the Chinese tech sector, reports Nikkei Asia.
![Yangtze_Memory_Technologies_Logo.jpg]()
According to the report, Apple intended to buy 128-layer 3D NAND flash memory chips from Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC) for use in iPhones sold in the Chinese market as early as this year, with the possibility of eventually purchasing up to 40% of the chips needed for all iPhones.
Apple had already completed the months-long process to certify the memory before Washington earlier this month added YMTC and 30 other Chinese entities to an "Unverified" list of companies that U.S. officials have been unable to inspect. U.S. companies are prohibited from sharing any design, technologies, documents or specifications to companies on the Unverified List without a license.
The tighter controls have increased tensions with Beijing, since companies who cannot provide the necessary information within 60 days could be added to the official U.S. export control blacklist. YMTC is also being investigated by the U.S. Commerce Department over whether it violated Washington's export controls by selling chips to Huawei, which is already blacklisted.
The export controls on China imposed by the Biden administration are an effort to slow the country's technological and military advances by cutting off Beijing's supplies off from certain semiconductor chips made anywhere in the world with U.S. equipment. Apple and YMTC did not respond to Nikkei's requests for comment.

"Hey Samsung, buddy, my-brotha from another motha. You're not still sour about the iPhone and those lil cheesy jokes right? right? come on, com ma'an we was just playing. Say I got a proposition for ya ... you still got that DDR5 RAM available for sale or that DDR6? I could hook ya up on a very lucrative and exclusive deal? "
lol.
As he said, without a hint of irony, politics 101 is blaming a foreign enemy for your own problems 😅
I guess they finally replaced "sources say..""
My wife is half Malaysian and I get it all the time.
One racist white person proves entire white race is racist. /s
So let me ask you, how many "outsider" people of color are there in the Chinese government? How many people of color are CEO's in CCP owned businesses? How many people of color own their own business or real estate? How do the Chinese view people that are mixed races? To make it even easier, how do the Chinese view people that are a mix of Chinese/Malaysian or Chinese/Japanese? (For those that aren't aware, it isn't very nice.)
I know the answers to those questions. Also, you must have forgot it wasn't that long ago the Chinese were forced to send their baby girls out of the country for fear of them being killed. Go save your sanctimonious, racist BS, for another site that isn't as well versed in the subject. You are out of your league here.
Too bad you think that way, it was more of a point that a majority of Taiwanese are not in favor of the PRC government and has nothing to do with racism at all.

Correct.
“Americans Don’t Know How Capitalist China Is”
Weijian Shan was born in China and had his life upended by the Cultural Revolution. Educated in the United States, he worked for the World Bank and J.P. Morgan and taught at the Wharton School. Today he is the CEO of PAG, a $40 billion private equity firm based in Hong Kong. In this interview he...
It's general knowledge nowadays.
It's a bit alarming that the people voting for representatives who ultimately make policies on China know so little about modern China and its history.
No problem, I'll survive.
The United States has lost between $300 billion to $600 billion dollars per year to intellectual property theft by China since the early 2000s. The entire United States defense budget averages $736 billion per year over the same time period. Chinese espionage, forced licensing and other unfair trade practices are well known, widely reported and are no longer a secret. To claim that China's technological advances in the last 20 years are due to "hard working Chinese" is laughable.Correct.

Given that China current manufactures slightly over a third of all manufactured products in the world, plus the fact that their universities (some of which are world class) are turning out around a million engineers (of all types) per year; I don't think that limiting western "know how" is going to have any great long term effect.
As long as they can turn out goods for the American market cheaper than Americans can produce it for themselves then they're on to a winner. Plus China prioritises stability over everything, so don't expect to see any Putin style idiocy, just a slow, steady and remorseless consolidation of their power.
Are we pretending like China isn't a genocidal totalitarian regime, that has killed far more of their own citizens than the Nazi's killed jews, has forced organ harvesting from people based on race, religion, or political reasons, and that uses rape as a government sponsored form of torture? And that is one of the most racist societies out there? And the largest source of pollution/climate change (a very significant part of why things are cheap to produce there-- complete disregard for the environment).
Can't decouple fast enough.
Can't decouple fast enough.
Why stop at per capita? How about per capita per college student? Per 1st tier city? Per person who didn't grow up in poverty?
Graph a line. It's not hard to see the trend.
And how much money has China lost due to western imperialism? Or stealing Silk secrets? Paper printing? Gun powder? Hell, even the sandwich and pasta was invented in China and stolen.The United States has lost between $300 billion to $600 billion dollars per year to intellectual property theft by China since the early 2000s.

The bolded part is absolutely correct and what most people here do not understand.
East Asian culture, including South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore will prioritize stability over everything else.
Most Americans and Europeans think that China will go on an imperialist rampage once they gain power like they themselves once did to the rest of the world. This is simply not within traditional East Asian culture. They keep to themselves while anglo saxons like to "civilize the world" by conquering them.
All these westerners defending China as they enslave ethnics and basically behave as the most evil entity on the planet, is ridiculous. Stop shilling yourself to modern nazi Germany. You clearly know NOTHING about the CCP and the evils its committing. The only mistake we made was buying their crap in the first place and making them rich.
Yeah blowing up all of the sea life surrounding them to peacefully let Taiwan know their clear intentions to invade them really screams following a cultural trajectory of peace.
What is ACTUALLY wrong with you people?????
This was like a few weeks ago?????
It is now just some sort of distorted historical quid pro quo? 😂 😂 Ancient history informs current CCP political policy? 😂 😂 Anyway, we are talking about a brutal dictatorship that suppresses individual freedom and political expression. When the United States first loosened its policies with China in the 1970s/80s it was driven by the understanding (misguided) that China would embark on reform. It did so economically (partially) but never did any political reform at all. So, the CCP took the money and ran by adopting its nationalist capitalism economy, which lifted millions out of poverty primarily through open access to Western markets. But the CCP has moved backwards economically through IP theft, espionage and forced licensing arrangements, which are unfair. It has backtracked politically as well so that continued US business there now only serves the interests of the CCP's dictatorial war machine.
So, Apple and other western companies are behind the ball and in danger. I believe Apple's continued reliance on Chinese manufacturing now represents an existential risk to the company and Apple should plan accordingly ... posthaste.
Anyone who defends the CCP in 2022 simply does not know anything about China or the CCP. That is an absolute fact.I'm not asking you to change your mind. I only ask of you to consider propaganda from both sides.
