China has taken countermeasures against two banks in the European Union, in response to the bloc placing two Chinese financial institutions on a Russia-related sanctions list, its commerce ministry said on Wednesday.
Effective immediately, Lithuanian banks UAB Urbo Bankas and AB Mano Bankas were banned from carrying out transactions and cooperation with organisations and individuals within China

The Korean tweet somehow renders it pitiful. Samsung invested hundreds of millions of dollars and 17 years into researching OLED, yet BOE reportedly only needed a few years to replicate. Lol. I hope BOE retaliates and succeeds in enacting a ban on Samsung TVs in the Chinese market.

Chinese TV brands already dominate the domestic market - Samsung TV's market share in China is only ~10%.

The issue is that premium Chinese TV manufacturers still make use of South Korean OLED panels, because the Koreans have an iron grip on the manufacturing of large OLED panels and are well protected by patents in global markets. You can't just copy their technology & expect to sell it every where.

The global patents system prevents near term competition outside of China (patents are setup to favor first movers). Presuming the goal is global dominance, the answer as always is to leap frog via new technology. If China wants to dominate in display panels then it has to invest early in next generation technology across the entire supply chain, like it did in EVs.

Korean TV's have basically no market share in China. Also, I'm not sure how much this will affect Chinese TV's in the US market as I believe a lot of Chinese tv's are moving in the QLED and Mini-led direction as opposed to OLED. Curious how much the ruling effects those technologies.

The IJN ship, destroyer Yukikaze had sunk a number of American and British ships. I get that the politics is distasteful. But for the context of the film, the principal bad guys should be the Americans.

Contemporary Japanese WW2 films almost never mentioned China, for obvious reasons. The principal enemy in these films had been the US. While it is disgusting to glorify the Imperial Japanese military in WW2, it can be ironic to see them stirring up nationalism against the Americans.

BOE gets banned just when its OLED become more advanced than Samsung. That is naked protectionism, only it protects the Koreans because there is zero US OLED manufacturing capacity to speak of. Seems like the US is becoming more and more of a dumping ground for Korean and Japanese goods.

Rapidus unequivocally stole TSMC's 2nm process, but I'm betting that US will just let that one go.
