U.S. chip maker Intel is facing a backlash from China after telling its suppliers not to source products or labour from the northwestern region of Xinjiang.
Most of the “China forces X to apologize” stuff for the past 4 or 5 years hasn’t been about sourcing “cheap Chinese labor”. That hasn’t been the case for a long time. When some movie or another needs to appease China, it’s not that they need Chinese actors or Chinese post-production specialists.
It’s that they want Chinese audiences. When an NBA basketball player kowtows, it’s that the NBA wants Chinese audiences. Intel wants Chinese customers. They simply outnumber US customers, or European customers.
Yes, sorry. You are correct. What I said was true long ago. Now, its access to the Chinese market that is the carrot.
At the same time though, most western companies like Uber, Google, Facebook got kicked out of China, and the Chinese stole their tech and made their own knockoffs.
I think this garbage trend of Chinese censorship may start to fade away, when Chinese companies are the ones operating abroad and get screwed over, e.g Huawei and DJI
Huawei and DJI ? Not sure. I stopped following Huawei some years back, when I found out they were just a CCP puppet.
I meant general industrial espionage. There were massive phishing campaigns starting maybe 10 years ago. The PLA Unit 61398 is rather infamous.
They stole everything from the trains they use in the country (stolen from Siemens) to their new fighter Jets. Its a fascinating way for a third world country to catch up to far more developed nations.
Still, they kind of shot themselves in the foot, because it opens up their companies to lawsuits and what not, should they try to operate in western markets.

What “tech” is there to steal from the companies you mentioned? Which do the chinese clones use?
He is a Hindutva fash from India. I am an Indian too, so I can identify these termites. They are eating my country away.
