Russia banning iphones and Apple keeps the USA and West
guessing regarding Putin's move. All they have been getting are just
'intelligence gathered from thin air'. 'Intelligence' that did not
foresee Huawei blindsiding them. They were blindsided clear and simple.
If not why are they talking about investigating how Huawei got the Kirin
9000s 7 nm chips with 5G capabilities. Fact is they were caught with
their pants down.
China is following Russia. China already got
rid of computers made by Western countries and running Windows in
Government circles. Now China is also getting rid of iphones inside
Government facilities. The question is, when will iphones be totally
'equipment non grata' in China as well. The USA and the West wants
de-coupling or de-listing so badly, China must give them a helping hand.
Putin is visiting China in October, after meeting Kim in
Moscow. Why are the meetings planned so closely and person to person?
Again the USA will be pouring scorn, maybe calling the meeting between
Xi and Putin 'troubling'. Meeting person to person is the safest and
nothing leaks out via spies paid to snoop around. Phone calls are not
that safe in today's environment, even hot lines can be tapped. We know
very well that the USA even spied on close allies, like Angela Merkel
and Macron. Do we honestly believe that Yoon or Kishida are under the
radar and not closely watched? Honestly there is nothing to speculate
what they will do to friends. Aren't being friends of the USA touted to
be dangerous?

Now the West is finding fault with Chinese made EVs. They are investigating and probably coming up with claims that the Chinese EVs are spying on USA citizens. The seats, the tyres, the airconds, the steering wheels, the batteries are all full of spying apps installed. They lost the competition and this is their mode of operation.
ReplyDeleteHistory is full of such vile tactics employed by the USA. They did it to Toshiba of Japan. They did it to Alstom of France. They did it to Huawei of China. Where they cannot compete, they resort to fabricating lies in order to destroy. That will lead to stagnation. Hell, does that not indicate why they are reinventing the wheel of another moon landing, when they claimed they already have the expertise in the sixties?
There is a big market opening up in South America for Chinese EVs. Africa, once it gets its house in order, will be another big market, albeit years down the road. China knows that potential, invested decades earlier in Africa for long term gains, and is reaping some rewards already in terms of having access to essential resources in tie ups with some African Governments. With 1.4 billion population and growing, the potential is enormous. They will progress and grow, unlike the days of colonial rule, with exploitation and intentional depressing of growth and progress was the norm.
Then, there are the Middle East and Central Asia to consider. They will progress and grow as well. As Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, tells the EU, Africa is far larger than the EU in the eyes of China, and therefore more important for longer term engagement.
