I've said it before, some of the US's East Asian allies would gladly sacrifice themselves for US interests. Such is the insanity of their nationalism. There should be no illusions of rational behavior; they're either at your feet or at your throat.

I don't think it is the insanity of their nationalism but the insanity of American "democracy." And this is why America wants to spread "democracy" while China has never cared about or tried to convert another country's political system. Because South Korea embraced American ways, now the US has its tentacles embedded all over the country forcing it to do things that benefit America and harm Korea itself. By a combination of NGO, election rigging, media control and other illegal activities, those who accept the American system are turned into zombies and puppets that the US can use as cannon fodder. Were it not for this, America could also not care less what political system other countries used.

Most of SK Hynix's NAND and DRAM fabs are in China. What would the US do, ask them to ritually suicide and destroy their own business?
Good luck with that.
The South Korean memory industry is erecting new fabs in South Korea, SK Hynix alone is building several new fabs there, but those will take many years to become operational. And in the meantime the older fabs need to be used and depreciated.

Worked with Japan.

This is the problem of hard power theorists. Sometimes humans are straight up irrational and will do stupid things. China holds a lot of military leverage and economic leverage, as well as gigantic economic incentives, yet human mind can ignore all of it

How can you tell a Taiwanese soldier from a Chinese soldier? A Taiwanese soldier will greet you with a smile while a Chinese soldier will always be sad when you see him. They forgot to add the brown nose on the Taiwanese soldiers from all the American butts they will be kissing.

CIA warned Ukraine not to blow up Nord Stream, reports say​

A culprit has not yet been identified for the deep sea pipeline attacks.

The CIA warned Ukraine not to destroy Nord Stream months before an attack on the gas pipelines, after receiving a tip from Dutch military intelligence, according to media reports.

According to the plan received by MIVD, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, General Valery Zaluzhny, was in charge of the operation against Nord Stream, which involved a small team of divers traveling on a sailing boat and was supposed to take place mid-June 2022.

The Dutch intelligence services then informed the U.S., who made contact with Ukraine via the CIA to warn them off, the reports say.

In a recent interview with Axel Springer, POLITICO’s parent company, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denied any involvement in the attack.

“I am president and I give orders accordingly,” Zelenskyy

. “Nothing of the sort has been done by Ukraine. I would never act that way.”

Never understand why people still think it is a good idea to invest in India. China never forced foreign companies to appoint key executive positions as local, selling shares, giving out contracts to local inferior suppliers, using local components that don't meet the standard, or forming joint venture for no particular purpose.

Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi are just the worst type of companies that don't even have any backbone to make a stand.

China-based companies like Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi, among others, have been asked to induct Indian equity partners,

reported today (June 13). They are being asked to appoint Indians in key roles, it said citing three unnamed people who were present when company executives and Indian government representatives met to discuss the matter.

This is actually India’s way to destroying these companies from within; just look at the nepotism of senior management being inundated by ethnic Indians in western firms like Oracle, Microsoft etc

As I’ve said, South Korea and Japan are simply this millennium’s iteration of the khitans and Xianbei.

This is the problem of hard power theorists. Sometimes humans are straight up irrational and will do stupid things. China holds a lot of military leverage and economic leverage, as well as gigantic economic incentives, yet human mind can ignore all of it

South Korea is a dead society; it is a slave society where workers are expected to work 80 hours a week for shit pay and encouraged to serve as prostitutes and dancing monkeys for Anglo Americans and their negro sepoy soldiers. If ever there was a Korean nation it resides with the Kims.

Oh sure just like the American CIA didn’t condone Australian SAS atrocities against Afghans. The Americans are the supreme commanders of their vassals. If a soldier commits war crimes it is the responsibility of his American commanders and given Abu ghraib, it’s evident there is a culture of enablement with the USG

I mean, they could have folded it up and held onto it till they came down, but they tossed it aside like trash. I needn't comment further.

Telus pauses fibre optic network rollout across Alberta, blaming Ottawa’s Huawei ban.​

Telus Corp. T-T is blaming Ottawa’s ban on China’s Huawei Technologies Inc. for pausing its fibre optic network build in the city of St. Albert and elsewhere in Alberta, raising questions over the sanction’s spillover effects on connectivity in smaller communities.
The delay leaves many neighbourhoods in the city of about 70,000 without access to Telus’ PureFibre home internet network. The Vancouver-based company originally announced the $100-million project in 2019 to connect more than 90 per cent of St. Albert homes and businesses to its fibre optic network by the end of 2020.
During a council meeting last month, St. Albert’s director of information technology Joanne Graham told councillors that Telus informed the city on April 28 it had paused its PureFibre build “in all communities in Alberta with the exception of communities where they had a contract or a partnership with the municipality.”
In addition to factors such as high inflation and interest rates, Graham said Telus “very predominantly” cited the fallout of the federal government’s ban on Huawei technology.
“They have had to dismantle the Huawei infrastructure on all of their antennas and so primarily we’re seeing pressures on the capital that they had available for all the builds across Alberta,” she said.
The federal government announced in May 2022 it was banning Huawei from involvement in Canada’s 5G wireless network, along with ZTE, another Chinese state-backed telecommunications firm, though it had been mulling the move since 2019.
