for what its worth... i think Napoleon was right.

 

LKY made a terrible mistake helping china... though his contribution may have been terribly exaggerated for all we know.

or....who knows... without LKY, China may have become even worse, making NK seem peaceful.

 

 

LKY did much to latch onto China growth and to benefit Singapore in the process but don't give ourselves too much credit lah.  LKY don't have power/ influence on the internal wordings of the CCP and who are elected to lead.

With 1.4b hungry and very hardworking people, CCP just need to get the system and direction right.

China being factory of the world is the world biggest importer of IC.  It exports a lot of these IC after being manufactured into final products.

Words of this ban has been floating in TW media for some mths.  TSMC likely prepared for this.

China exports is 20% of GDP.

There is a lot of local consumptions too. Just for the smart phone market, China is more than 2x USA shipment numbers.

Lots of business on both sides are going to suffer.

2 giants slugging it out. No one can deal a fatal blow to each other. As a bystander, just don't get accidentally slugged.

Huawei Surprises Millions Of Users With Stunning Google Alternative

Mapping has always been one of the apps highlighted as an issue for Huawei. The tight integration of navigation and location services across a smartphone makes this native loss acute. Back in October, I reported that Huawei was accelerating development of an alternative, and then in February my colleague David Phelan reported on a proposed deal between Huawei and mapping giant TomTom.

And so there was serious surprise this week, when Huawei went a totally unexpected way with this. The solution it selected, though, was very clever. Huawei has released the HERE WeGo maps and navigation solution on its AppGallery alternative to Google’s Play Store. You may not know the name—but chances are you’ve used the service.

The software has its origins back in the 1980s—remember Navteq? And then evolved through various iterations, including OVI and then Nokia Maps, focusing on Symbian and then Windows phones. The platform was then sold to a number of auto manufacturers, including Audi and BMW to power in-car navigation.

And this is the key for Huawei. HERE WeGo is designed to deliver class-leading navigation services—and that’s good news for users who increasingly turn to smartphone maps for all their navigation needs, including increasingly in-car. The platform also offers serious offline options—it has always been a credible alternative to Google Maps, but it hasn’t been stitched in as standard.

“In 1985, we began with the simple goal to digitize mapping and pioneer in-car navigation systems,” the company says. “Today, we're creating living three-dimensional maps that grow upwards, breathing with layers of information and insights. And we're looking beyond. From autonomous driving, to the Internet of Things, we are building the future of location technology through strategic partnerships. Together we’re building open solutions for the future.”

This news is more significant than it appears on the surface. Yes, for Huawei users this means there is now a recommended alternative to Google Maps. But for Google, it means that the world’s third-largest smartphone manufacturer has selected a credible alternative with a first-rate mapping legacy as a replacement. And that immediately thrusts HERE WeGo more into the limelight as it gains usage across tens of millions of new devices.

The backdrop to Huawei’s loss of Google has always been the impact on Google. When I covered Huawei’s reported development of its own navigation services last year, it was clear this was a threat to its dominance. Arguably this is even worse, because this is a credible solution out of the box.

Earlier this month, Counterpoint Research named HERE Technologies as its number one pick for location services—ahead of Google. The research firm’s Neil Shah said that “HERE continues to emerge as the world’s leading and most comprehensive location platform in our evaluation.”

What happens next will be interesting. The real prize for HERE will be to move beyond its mapping app to a range of underlying services within Huawei’s alternative to Google’s Mobile Services. The extent of any collaboration between Huawei and HERE Technologies is unclear. But if this is to be a credible alternative to Google Maps then that needs to be extensive.

Still no politics is dirtier than ccp in China. 

IF... China had played fair in global trade,  doubt this would be so bad. And this is something both the us and eu agree on.

General anti Chinese sentiment is strong in USA. Just that republicans are more hard ball. Even if Biden comes into power. It will just be not so confrontational.

Never forget that this is the country that tried to bribe our democratically elected leader.

Did we forget about Terrex?

[Lala81]

The enemy of the enemy is my friend. U never see any American kpkb about Vietnam even though the communist party that made them lose face 50 years ago is still in power. 

Cos... Vietnam is the only sea country who can potentially buffer China from southwards influence.

It was in their port what. Its a misstep on our part taking things for granted.

China send spies over. American send spies over. We also evict right. 

Offering an outright bribe to the PM is well very disturbing to say the least. 

It's always better to play the independent game. 

[Lala81]

Americans and Europeans can play very dirty... 

China also plays dirty. 

All are like mafia boss. 

Just like we can also play dirty to fix internal dissent right.
