    SMIC stock price has gone up astronomically. Once again, American firms are coping and seething at their eroded market share.

      am I looking at the right stock ticker? HKG: 0981 doesn't seem to have done that well over the last few years, sitting at 15 down from a high of 40

    Lmao they're just looking for an excuse to sanction more, whatver they find it will probably be invented to incriminate a US competitor

    as nato has so brilliantly learnt from the russo-ukrainian war, sanctions definitely work and don't backfire when used against major world powers

      interesting argument about how countries with a trade surplus cannot be disciplined by the US dollar in the same way as those with trade deficits

        While mostly right, very funny it indulges mh17 hoax stuff. Why is it so hard to acknowledge arming poorly trained units with advanced anti air missiles can have blow back. Look at the plane that was mistakenly shot down in Iran couple years ago. Just weird hill to die on.

          the Dutch-led joint investigation team (JIT) ...... found that the Buk originated from the 53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade of the Russian Federation[12][13] and had been transported from Russia on the day of the crash

          Some of these details are a bit too convenient.

    I hope SMIC can produce good RISC-V chips and that I can abandon this bullshit amd64 architecture once and for all.
