Summary: The US and South Korea have called on China to use its influence over Russia and North Korea to prevent escalation after Pyongyang sent thousands of troops to Russia to aid Moscow’s war against Ukraine. China has remained silent on the move, despite its “no limits” partnership with Moscow and major ally status with Pyongyang. Experts suggest Beijing might disapprove of the closer military partnership due to its destabilizing nature and potential impact on its goal for a peaceful Korean Peninsula.

    Jinping: “Sucks to suck, how about you put some boots on the ground. We promise to stay out of it, sound good? Huhuhuhuhuhuu~!”

    I think China is pushing them both, in private, and Iran, probably Türkiye to take action in Cypress too.

    The only reason to pour so much money into semiconductors in the USA is because Taiwan and South Korea are in major trouble soon. Take Taiwan and South Korea, that’s most of the semiconductor industry and the entire cutting edge. Intel is falling apart as is and Boeing is absolute garbage as well. Those two are a large chunk of real US tech edge and they can’t even keep the doors on, make a two way trip to space, launch a competitive rocket, make generational improvement increments, stand behind years worth of defective products, or factual marketing and specifications. Take Samsung and TSMC and the USA is in the stone ages of 20 year old silicon tech.

      That is not the only reason. You seem to forget the fact that American businesses couldn’t get the chips they needed during COVID due to the supply chain issues. That was the original reason why there was a call to open fabrication plants in the first place.
