Lenovo like ASML is just a systems integrator... without Intel/AMD chips, Samsung SSD/NVMe drives/memory, and Windows 10/11 operating systems, it is nothing and has nothing...

But like you said @Phead128 there's a possibility that Pres. Xi has done this for "plausible deniability" and if the PLA had sent Chubbg girl Y-20 to rescue the Chinese students it may have the possible effect that you and I wouldn't want to see, and that's scaring the Europeans about China's militaristic aims and shit like that...especially during these trying times in Europe.
I was responding to the earlier post about not shipping non-intel/amd ultrabooks.
Since the majority of PCs and laptops are made (assembled) in China and China is not sanctioning Russia, I guess all the Russians need to do is order one on Taobao won't get a Cyrillic keyboard but I sure they can pickup a set of keycaps. Alternatively, China's just started a e-commerce train service for central asia so some enterprising person is probably going to make a lot of money on grey imports, watch out for a sudden surge of demand for personal computing equipment from the 'stans
The geniuses in the news room do realise its Europe that's getting shafted right, its their tax paying citizens employed by the bank that will be out of a job and if the bank is liquidated its the respective EU government that needs to cover up to €100,000 euros of any account's shortfall under the EU bank deposit protection scheme, but hey we showed them Ruskies!
Lenovo has become a disgrace. Its dependency on the West, the US in particular, for technologies and markets has not changed much since the trade war started. The company is like a pig waiting for the slaughter house.I do not get why Lenovo would not just try to sell their Zhaoxin Ultrabooks in Russia instead of leaving Russian market altogether. Oh well.
PS: Oh the CPU is fabbed at TSMC.
Western civilian aircraft are simply better, it wouldn't be very rational to buy Russian planes when better options are available. Especially when you're trying to sell your oil to the West.
Iran also feels betrayed by its partnerships with China because many companies withdrew because of American sanctions. The American market was always more important to China than the Iranian market, which is very rational.
Despite occasional commercial disagreements, the Iranian government knows better than to rely on the West. Who knows when the next Trump will be elected? Politically Iran will always be on the anti Western side. A strong Iran is worth a lot more to China than today's weak Iran. That means sharing the Iranian market with international brands. Chinese products still have quite a poor reputation abroad, but just like Made in Japan used to stand for cheap knock offs, Made in China will soon be known for the quality. Once the new deal gets signed, Iran will probably buy new planes from Airbus. But if the C919 proves itself as a reliable plane, Iran may buy from COMAC 10 years from now. They're already buying Chinese cars or building them under license.
