??? But the survival of Huawei and others such as ZTE isn't predicated on having access to US and its vassals markets though.

So? It's still a loss. Is it either survival or no survival to you? Companies don't make money more than they need for survival?
You originally wrote:
Which kind of gives off the impression that Huawei and others like ZTE badly needs access to US markets.
With that said, I suppose looking back, maybe you meant it more like that Huawei and ZTE etc. no longer have the option to outcompete and destroy/push Samsung and Nokia out of the market? But honestly thinking they would be completely get squeezed out of the market kinda seemed farfetched even before the US starting sanctioning and stopping chinese telecom companies.
And, it's not like I have expressed that it's not a loss that Huawei, ZTE etc. getting pushed out of US and its vassals markets, although I think it's 'fine' and that they can still develop and continue survive with just the chinese telecom market, not to mention there's the market outside of US and its vassals.

Of course they would not tolerate, because they will do it by themselves.
UK food prices skyrocket – data
Soaring costs for basic essentials have led to a decline in living standards in the country

British households have been hit with a record jump in food prices as decades-high inflation continues to cripple the economy, according to the latest figures from the British Retail Consortium (BRC).
A report by the trade body, which represents UK supermarkets, showed on Tuesday that fresh food prices soared by 17.8% in April on an annual basis, while prices for tinned goods and other store-cupboard items accelerated by 12.9%.
According to the BRC-NielsenIQ shop price index, prices were up 8.8% last month compared to the same period in the previous year, while slightly down from 8.9% in March.
“Overall shop price inflation eased slightly in April due to heavy spring discounting in clothing, footwear and furniture,” BRC chief executive Helen Dickinson was quoted as saying by Sky News. “However, food prices remained elevated given ongoing cost pressures throughout the supply chain,” she added.
Dickinson indicated that some goods, such as ready meals, have been seeing price rises due to “the knock-on effect” from increased production and packaging costs.
Meanwhile, head of retail and business insight at NielsenIQ, Mike Watkins, noted that with inflation yet to peak and sales volumes mostly in decline, “it’s difficult to second guess the strength of consumer confidence.”
Official figures showed last month that the rate of inflation in Britain had eased slightly but still remains above 10%, with food and drink costs at a 45-year high.
According to the Trussell Trust charity, almost three million emergency food parcels have been handed out at UK food banks in the past year, with the number provided for children topping a million for the first time.
The Bank of England’s chief economist, Huw Pill, stated earlier that British households and businesses needed to accept that they are poorer and should stop asking for wage increases and pushing prices higher.
The smartest move for TSMC to protect their fab and resources is to move their fab and resources to the mainland.
All these firms had to do was decline USG requests for information citing Chinese jurisdiction. They did not, rather they acted as the white Anglo Atlanticist tools that they are, so similarly China will blunt and break those tools once they are used against China.
who knows what pound of flesh HSBC had to offer to China to remain living for a while longer…
it doesn’t matter if 200,000 years have passed; those native Americans were kin and the anglos and Europeans owe a blood debt. Honestly any potential war against the Five Eyes should seek to recover the North American continent.
ie fight for white supremacy or have to treat Asians as equals. The horror!!
Jokes aside, the size and number of TSMC facilities mean the US would have to use a substantial amount of cruise missiles to destroy them. Considering how insufficient the US launchers are within the second island chain, destroying TSMC is very significant in terms of opportunity costs.
I dunno dude. China should welcome this plan. It would make integration of Taiwan easier after re-unification while also making the war easier. TSMC is useless without its customers and means to sustain its production, and almost none of that is Taiwanese. Its human capital is the real valuable thing and that is invulnerable to cruise missiles.

Firstly, the US can use its SSGNs or late block Virginias for such an attack with far less risk.
Secondly, why do you think the Liaoning and Shandong carriers keep exercising on the east side of Taiwan? Sure, being able to launch strikes from an unexpected direction can be advantageous, but given the sheer overmatch the PLA has over the RoCA, it’s not needed at all.
During actual AR, PLAN carrier(s) operating east of Taiwan will be there as much to shield Taiwan from American dastardly attacks as they are to cut Taiwan off from possible outside supply and invasion. And those PLAN carries won’t have to do all the heavy lifting themselves.
The very presence of PLAN carriers on the east side of Taiwan will force Taiwan AD to deploy and intercept any incomings, since Taiwan’s old radars won’t be able to reliably positively ID incoming cruise missiles to tell America and Chinese missiles apart. Whereas without any PLAN presence, traitors in Taiwan might be able to order AD to stand down or even be redeployed to leave the west coast wide open for an US attack.
Kinda ironic that the PLA may need to force/trick the RoCA to do its job and protect the critical infrastructure and economic future of the island.
Anglo use of gene select bio weapons should definitely be investigated for the sake of humanity. No nation should ever tolerate a nazi germany ever again.
