@KYli bro I hope I'm wrong, BUT with this remark from Xi, he is preparing for a possible conflict in Taiwan by 2025, maybe he see something that we don't. The hints are everywhere, from my favorite topic The semiconductor thread about the operation of TSMC FAB 21, Samsung expansion FAB and Intel FAB 52 and 62 in 2024, the possible return of Trump the weaponization of the dollar and maybe a real domestic unrest in the US with inflation and maybe a system collapse.

Has China managed to evacuate all of the willing Chinese citizens from Ukraine? Because according to this article printed on SCMP written by AFP (French publication) that there are still several Chinese folks left stranded in the war torn country of Ukraine. Some have voiced great displeasures at the Chinese government for understandable reasons.

You think so @ansy1968 what gives you this impression other than what you have already written above? I am also incline to believe that U.S. will press on this matter while China is still recalibrating their strategies in light of what they are witnessing in terms of the all encompassing sanctions that's currently being leveled against Russia. At the same time, the U.S. and it's collective allies can't afford to further delay the attack against China whilst it is still relatively weak compared to say in 2030 when China will be simply too strong in all areas. Why let your perceived greatest strategic threat become stronger and then attack thus incurring a much more devastating costs for American interests...

But, I am hoping and praying that we're all nothing but fools for prognosticating thar war will arise in the coming 2 or 3 years. I'd rather be a fool, and wrong than to be proven right where chaos, death, and destruction of Asia happens.

From now to 2024 Taiwan presidential election would be a turbulent period, many Chinese military experts claim that China is gearing up and preparing for a possible war in or after 2024.

@Bellum_Romanum bro @KYli had explain it well regarding Taiwan and coincidentally the ARIZONA FAB will be finished within the same year with both the Taiwan and US election, the American will not be hamstrung anymore as they gotten what they wanted from the Taiwanese. BUT there are too many to mention, I'm really afraid, IF the conflict in Ukraine had settled decisively in Russian favor, NATO will rearm and the American will PIVOT to Asia and with it the Collective West. The fence is being erected and it may force China hand like what the American did to the Japanese before WW2 , cutting off Japanese supply of natural resource and their export. Second is about the domestic situation in the US, I hope @In4ser can provide more info BUT if the economic situation worsen, the political elite may need a war to divert attention and with it the political fortune of Brandon and Kamala, will both of them initiate a war to win an election? and lastly with the incompetency of Brandon administration we may see a system collapse dragging all of us for a possible world conflict and Armageddon.

Wow, wow, hold on. This can't just be dropped on people like that; people aren't ready for this kind of stupid right out of the blue. This post needs a lead up intro:

Brought to you by the makers of plans such as, "Trade wars are easy to win," "Let's inject ourselves with UV light and bleach," "It'll go away by itself like a miracle in April," and many more... To the critical acclaim of Farmers on Welfare, Angry Closet Racists, Women Against their Own Progress, Latinos for the Guy who Hates Latinos, and others with IQ levels in the mid-low double digits, we present to you... [drumroll] the "F-22s Repurposed as low-flying Bombers Disguised with Chinese flags plan," designed specifically to fool a person who, through no family connections, went from language student, to top of the KGB, to the president of Russia... for 4 terms and counting in a 2 term country...

I question if this person even exists. The West likes to make up crap thinking people are just like them in this case how Americans think they personally deserve special attention anywhere around the world. What was this person doing on vacation in Ukraine with a sense of war in the air? That sounds unlike of a Chinese tourist. If this person was there for the adventure enticed by the potential risk.. well now the price is to be paid. That sounds like what a Western tourist does. Is there a Louis Vuitton store in Ukraine? Sorry but Chinese are still on the show-off stage when it comes to tourism. They do it to convey their social status to others. Ukraine is not on top of that list when it comes to doing that.

You are misunderstanding the nature of Lenovo’s business. PCs are a commodity business, that’s why HP separated the company.

For Lenovo, although portrayed as a “technology company”. It is really an IT services company. If they develop their own CPU, it’s pointless from a corporate standpoint. It would just make support contracts more difficult and expensive eating into their bottom line.

The PC business only exists to give them global scale and with NEC PC business, probably the only company with a deep footprint in all Asia. As such, their supply and support contracts would be very attractive for multinationals.

Does this make them an “embarrassing” company? To many the answer would still be yes because they don’t really create much novel technology, but from a corporate standpoint, it is not.
It has nothing to do with PCs being commodity though. If we use McDonalds and Starbucks as the benchmark, there are not many things more commodity than fast food and coffee drinks.

By the way, I did not advocate that Lenovo should develop their own CPUs. I even used the term "IPs" on purpose.

It's also not about the nature of Lenovo's business. In the early days of the company, there was a debate between 贸工技 and 技工贸 which you might have heard of. These are two business growth strategies. 贸 means to profit from value-added reselling of others's products and technologies, 工 stands for building up capacities in manufacturing computing products, 技 is to create and own essential/critical technologies. 贸工技 prioritizes reselling over the other two abilities. 技工贸 goes the other way around.

The current management of Lenovo was the winner who favors 贸工技. By itself, choosing 贸工技 isn't necessarily wrong if the company started building up a porfolio of essential IPs once it grew up from 贸 and 工. Lenovo has reached their goals on 贸 and 工. But where are they on 技?

The management of Lenovo has failed in delivering their promise on 技. This is why so many Chinese netizens are angry at them.
