  • Apple increases reliance on Chinese suppliers

    davewritedavewrite
    "Additionally, there have been concerns about human rights abuses in China,"

    Here we go again.
    The same disinformation campaign used against Iraq ( "we got proof including eyeswittness of Iraqi WMD"), Syria, , Libya etc.
    First the disinformation campaign to demonize the country, then USA supplied 'liberation' groups (often terrorists organizations) , and the disintegration of the region.

    At least hundreds of thousands dead in Iraq , millions of refugees in Syria etc and the playbook is used again. 

    (In various resolutions practically all the countries  condemning China are Western  except Japan which has a frayed history with China and which was arm twisted by USA as member of the Quad defense collective, and some USA influenced islands like the Marshall islands.

    At least 54 countries have given SUPPORT to China over Xinjiang including the majority of MUSLIM countries including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, UAE, Pakistan, Yemen, Palestine, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Morocco, South Sudan,  etc. Except for Japan and the aforementioned USA influenced islands not one ASIAN country has condemned China over Xinjiang . 

    Few people believe, after events in Palestines etc,  the west cares about muslims in Xinjiang except as a China containment policy.  )

    Containment and disruption policy ? Don't believe me? Go watch this video where USA official describe years ago the USA strategic objective in Xinjiang.

  • Apple's largest research lab outside the US opens in China

    davewritedavewrite
    As an Apple investor I say thank god Apple is doing this. 

    That some are confused about Apples decision and I attribute ignorance to USA government propaganda like BilL HR 1157. 
    Bill HR 1157 adds $1.6 billion to the hundreds of millions already allocated to anti Chinese propaganda. 
    Stated aim of bill is to “subsidize state media and civil society sources to counter China”. 

    Anyhow truth is out there even if you just peek. 

    Example the conservative (no love of China) Australian think tank ASPI states in latest report China takes lead in 90% of 64 top technology categories. In 2007 USA led in 60 of the 64 categories. Now it’s drop to a tiny fraction. 

    On ASPI category cited: hypersonic detection: China has 73% research citations and USA 13%. Rest of world make up the rest. 

    China graduates many times more scientists and PhDs and engineers than anywhere else by a wide margin. 

    if you want more evidence look at electric cars worldwide. 
    Elon Musk has gone from laughing at Chinese EVs 10 years ago to saying ‘either have tariffs’ or die. 
    40% of Teslas battery components are Chinese. One of Tesla’s Chinese battery partners in research and manufacturing is CATL.

    Likewise do a real deep dive into solar panel technology. Note USA solar companies are still importing and using Chinese parts. Once assembled in USA they are stamped made in USA. 

    Shipbuilding Chinas shipbuilding industry is 232 times larger than USA. 

    USA astronauts stuck in space station. Chinese astronauts regularly go up down to their space station Tiangong which more advanced than the aging ISS. ( but like everything else you won’t hear this in the western press. Hey spending billions on anti Chinese propaganda works.. but it works to detriment of actual knowledge in which wise judgements are made)

    China trains go at 400 km USA at 70-90 km max. 

    Etc

    I own Apple shares and other American tech stocks but no Chinese. So I’m not cheering China trounces usa. I’m just pointing out reality and giving some insight to what Apple is doing. Just like  Western car companies cooperate make joint ventures with China like in battery tech or die.

  • Greenpeace slams Apple supplier Foxconn over inadequate carbon reduction effort

    davewritedavewrite
    Oh yeah forgot to add above it's the USA that has walked away or torn up several world climate accords. Basically the only country to do so. 

    Also since EU now has stopped cheap Russian gas it is now going back to  oil, coal or thinking hard about it. Shipping LNG from USA by carbon burning ships isn't exactly carbon effective either.
