          Second, travel to some country, get familiar with how people are living there, what they think and only then you will have a right to talk about one country or another.
          Getting your knowledge from MSM is not so bright of an idea.

            China lied about numbers?
            Why China identified the virus then, while France was keeping silent about it? You have a reports of people who came WuHan games in 2019, some of them already being sick with flu-like symptoms and being told by French to keep it hush-hush, not allowing them to speak to press and get a test. You have reports online. Go and check it on your own.
            I don't hear from you calling out France for that?
            Virus was first identified in WuHan. That does not mean that it originated there, yet.
            Anyway, I just hope that TSMC will show some backbone and say "NO" to US request. Taiwan should be in good relationship with their neighbours. No country should be able to pressure anyone on who they will do a business with. If TSMC want to make another plant in US, let it be. But this, what Trump/US is doing atm is outrageous.
            I have to stand behind Huawei with this!!!

              I will not pay more due to USA extra cost to manufacturers, that's for sure. I'll choose brands that do not do that and offer better prices globally. Brands will have to choose and hopefully all this will promote more R&D and new technology that do not depend of US patents so we as customers will have a bigger variety of products to choose and not more expensive ones. Even cheaper due to not have to pay extra royalties.

                Plot twist : trump loves huawei deep inside and this is one of his plans to make them independent of usa

China will evolve and develop its own technology despite if they have or not external support. Productions will always be shifted to the cheaper place, at least for now. So yes, Vietnam, etc will win it for now. Also customers will shift to brands with better prices that do not charge extra cost due to the USA facilities, salaries and production. Apple even with their own will have to decide to charge only USA customers the extra price, maybe up to 250 - 400 dollars more for each phone depending the hardware or charge more globally losing customers that will no accept the new prices while competitors that don't produce in USA offer a lot better prices. The Apple ecosystem will not be enough reason if prices rise a lot. The time will show it.

                              Huawei is just the Chinese Communist Party in semiconductor form.

China will evolve more and manufacture they own tech... moreNope, low cost production would be shifted to India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Thailand and some other asian countries. if they are needed, Latin american countries can be good option too. remember, profit comes from top of the line products, not midranger. so the market of america and europe would be gone for china. Japan korea and europe is america's ally. it wont take long to form groups of countries and China won't win anyhow. who do you think other than Russia would support china in this?

                                    China cannot afford “retaliation” without causing further damage to its economy. Give it a few more years maybe it can stand a chance, but it’s at the mercy of US right now.

                                      Good. China will evolve more and manufacture they own technology offering it cheaper to the rest of the world. USA products that will forced to pay the new facilities and factories cost plus more expensive salaries and will only sell locally at insane cost. A pity for USA citizens as they'll have less options to buy in the future, Apple will raise prices due to that, Samsung will charge more as will be forced to invest more there. The rest of the world will simply ignore that market. They will not be able to export as no one will pay their expensive products, so USA market will become a local restricted and restrained than ever. Trump will change United States of America!!! ;D

                                        Itz vikky G, 16 May 2020US think that they are the best in the world which they are... moreYes and only thing US is good at nowadays is making their allied foolish.
                                        US it not to trust anymore, they only deserve to be friends with... US... America first they says.
                                        They are making wars around the world only to get more money, sooo hypocrite.
                                        They pushes their allied to the Chinese and maybe even the Russian and the whole world is laughing... What a shame.
