  • ByteDance would rather shut down US TikTok than sell it

    America needs to out-compete China, not ban it like they did with Huawei and now with TikTok. They can call it what ever they want (national security or national whatever) but if US companies had a better product then Americans would use it. Sad image for the US. 
    I agree. Ban if you have good reason to ban. Show evidence and act accordingly. 

    'Suspecting' this or that could happen and throwing everything under a 'national security' umbrella is doomed to failure. 

    That failure itself would be OK if it only impacted the country taking the action. 

    The problem is when you start demanding others follow suit (as the US does with its 'allies'). 

    It won't work with places like China. Even now, Blinken is in China telling them what to do with their Russian interests - on their own soil. That is crazy.

    Would US politicians accept someone from China landing in Washington and threatening action if they didn't get their way? 

    Sadly, US interests (and with it, influence) are being impacted by foolhardy decisions of a few China hawks with influence. 

    Non-US companies are wisely seeking to 'de-Americanise' for fear of being dumped onto some entity list, or worse, being required to stop doing business with someone simply because a small part of US technology is used in their equipment. All unilaterally. 

    The best route from the get go was to out-compete/out-innovate rivals, not 'ban' them for reasons with zero supporting evidence.

    The Tik Tok situation is more paranoia than anything else. 

    You want to see evidence? Search Forbes Investigation on TikTok data storage. Yeah, it’s stored US business user financial information in China server. I don’t mind to see TikTok shutdown cuz there’s no Facebook, Google, or YouTube can be operated in China anyway. Games played both ways

  • What to expect from the 'iPhone Fold'

    Ver Unlikely. It’s a gimmick and pron for damage but add zero or little benefit. Apple doesn’t design gimmicks based on Dieter Rams’ good design principles they followed.

  • Apple reportedly drags its feet when dealing with chronic China labor law offenders

    At the end of the day, profits override everything. Apple can’t do much since there’re nit many alternatives suppliers. Apple should have known the Chinese: once they have upper hands, they don’t give a shit because they know you need them.
    it continues so until Apple pulls out the country. Nothing Apple and others can do...
