China Investigating US Chip Maker as Security Risk!

American businessmen be like “trust me, goy.”

The US keeps accusing China of hacking America through TikTok. This doesn’t make any sense at all, and never did, if for no other reason than that TikTok is an app, and therefore everything it does is monitored by Apple and Google.

Meanwhile, the US is a dangerous, evil country that is plotting to overthrow the government of China in order to force young Chinese boys to do gay anal with older men.

The US is constantly threatening China with war – not the other way around.

As such, it makes much sense that American tech would be a security risk for the Chinese. It’s a security risk for all of us, frankly.

RT:

China has opened an investigation into Micron Technology, an Idaho-based semiconductor firm. The probe comes as the US seeks to curtail Beijing’s access to these vital electronic components amid a deepening tech war.

In a statement on Friday, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said that it opened its investigation in order to “safeguard key information infrastructure supply chain security” and “prevent cyberspace security risks due to problematic products.”

Every product the US produces is problematic!

Except maybe the F-150 Raptor.

That thing is so sweet. Man.

While the Chinese government has not commented further on the investigation, several factors could have influenced the CAC’s decision to probe an American chipmaker, and Micron in particular.

The probe mirrors US investigations into Chinese technology firms like Huawei, which was placed on a US trade blacklist in 2019 and accused by Washington of enabling espionage by Beijing, which both Huawei and the Chinese government deny. Huawei suffered two straight years of declining profits in 2021 and 2022, and the Biden administration is reportedly planning to hammer Huawei with export controls to hasten the Chinese firm’s “demise,” according to the Wall Street Journal.

The US government are terrorists.

This sort of thing – using the mechanisms of control over global trade markets to attempt to sabotage a company viewed as a competitor – is not really much different than blowing up the Nord Stream.

The US was entrusted to run the global trade system. They do nothing but exploit that trust to hurt others.

An investigation into Micron would seriously harm the company’s bottom line, as China accounts for 10% of its sales, the South China Morning Post reported. Furthermore, Micron’s Chinese-made products directly compete with those of domestic firms, meaning the probe stands to benefit indigenous industry.

Semiconductors are used in a host of modern devices, from smartphones to washing machines to guided missiles. The majority of these microchips are made in East Asia, with Taiwan producing more than 60%, and much of the remainder split between South Korea, Japan, the US, and China.

China is pushing back in a lot of different ways, many of them small.

This is a good one. Disrupting the tech sector is always a good move.

It’s only reasonable to mirror the actions of the US when confronting them. If they attack your tech company, attack their tech company. If they sanction you, cut oil output. (I doubt China is planning on kidnapping the CFO of Micron, however.)

Ultimately, tit-for-tat can only go so far. Eventually, China will need to stand up and just outright dominate the Jewnited Snakes.

We are building up to that.
