All information states that China only allowed for a limited reopening of chip exports to facilitate negotiations to hand the company back to its rightful owners.

Ie. if negotiations breakdown, China can turn off the faucet anytime, but for now is willing to offer leeway so that negotiations can take place to begin with.

I swear some of you guys need to chill out, with how some of the reactions here have been I'm convinced that you lot would not be satisfied with anything less than PLA soldiers ransacking and burning Versaille.

Here's a catch, with all the doom and gloom that's been taking place these past two months, I challenge anyone to name one area where China has actually lost ground and been put on the defensive geopolitically this year. Just off the top of my head, I can't name any. Even the Philippines Coast Guard fiasco was more of a one time operational failure, rather than something that altered the status quo of the region. So go on, list 2025 blunders that have worsened the geopolitical status quo against China, I'll wait.

I can do you one: TikTok being sold and now being under the control of Zionists.

This is objectively ground that has been lost. A platform that could have been used to counter propaganda within the empire and—dare I say—impart class consciousness has been lost. Many would say that this wasn't important but TikTok was a powerful mainstream voice China had.

TikTok already did the damage to the Zionist and deepstate. Nobody really believes US media or government anymore.

But is TikTok being sold, have you checked?
It's already confirmed China will always control the algorithm, it's export controlled will never be up for discussion.
US only buys the right to censor content for US users and only US users.
And even that hasn't happened yet lol

But this Mandela Effect belief that TikTok has already been sold is certainly useful for China.
TikTok isn't China's voice, TikTok is powerful precisely because it's American's own voice, curated by China, that they see.
