I agree that direct impact of the ban on Apple sales will likely be negligible, but I do think that there could be ripple effects both in China and other countries. And of course, 18% of a market the size of China is still pretty huge in absolute terms. So, it’s not apocalyptic news for Apple by any stretch, but it likely will have visible negative impact going forward.
Indeed, this blows apart any notion that the west could hold China back technologically.
Basically yeah, China managed to produce domestic 7nm chips in commercial volumes and people thought it would take much longer for that to happen.
It’s worth noting that the BRICS currency basically sounds like the Bancor idea that Keynes proposed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bancor
It’s not a general currency, but rather one meant specifically as a clearing system for settling transactions in international trade. The main problem it solves is convertibility. Using a common currency allows selling goods to one nation, and then using the funds to pay another nation for goods you might want to purchase from them seamlessly.
fun fact, Marx actually summed up the whole gig economy in Das Kapital
the fact that you likely genuinely believe what you wrote makes it all the more hilarious, thanks for confirming that your brain is truly as smooth as a bowling ball
Yeah, every single scumbag who supports continuation of this war can go fuck themselves. Better yet, go sign your worthless ass up for the foreign legion and fight yourself instead of forcing other people to die for your ideology.
Yeah, it’s so weird that people expect the president of the country to actually give a shit about what’s happening in the country.
All the liberal scumbags downvoting. Imagine being the kind of piece of shit that cheers on a war and then doesn’t even want to look at what the result of that war is on the people of the country. All of you are the definition of human garbage.
Diluting their milk with sewage.
Whatever problems Iran might have at least it’s not the US.
