hahahahaha it's their own damn fault

The Chinese Shine Muscat copycats were discovered in 2016, a decade after the variety’s registration in Japan, when the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) investigated samples.

But Japan cannot stop China or South Korea from growing the fruit because Tokyo – some say naively – failed to register the variety overseas within the six years required under international rules.

This was confirmed by South Korea’s agriculture ministry, which said that the “current situation permits Shine Muscat grapes to be grown and distributed here without royalty requirements”.

What the, but she was adamant just days ago.


The US says they don't want China to get advanced chips because they don't want it used for military purposes. But then when Huawei comes out with the 7nm chips, the US response is China can't produce enough of them. I think I read figures like eventually 60 million orders in total for Huawei mate pros. Does the Chinese military use more than 60 million chips its needs for itself? Do they think Huawei takes millions in orders and can only produce something like less than the number of fingers on two hands hence why they're comforted? When the US charges there's no line between civilian and military in China, how are they comforted that China can't produce enough? China has to somehow respect Huawei's smartphone order needs first before the military can get them? Sort of makes the charge that there's no line between civilian and military in China moot. Why do they think there's a limit? Like only one chip per machine ordered from ASML can be made and then it becomes useless? They said China was hoarding these machines before the deadline where they couldn't buy them anymore. So China bought 60 million of these machines spending hundreds of millions of dollars per so they can make one chip to put into a smartphone that cost around a thousand dollars.
