Funny you post that. Russia is building a new nuclear power plant in Belarus, completed with easy financing from Russia. And it will rely on Russia to supply the fuel rods for decades to come. That's why Putin doesn't care who runs Belarus, the country already deeply integrate its economy into Russia.

it's not twitter

don't blame it on social media

it's a combination of wishful thinking and "no true scotsman" syndrome

wishful thinking in that the CCP would just let HK go if HKers were mean enough, or that the US would invade another nuclear power just to spread "democracy", or that a bolt of lightning would magically strike zhongnanhai (or some other 天滅中共 event) and get rid of xi


This part has to do with the HK protest fractions unwilling to criticize radical groups so the net result is the lihkg teenagers ended up taking over and became the loudest group of the pretest movement.



quote:

"no true scotsman" in that anyone who pointed out the above were unrealistic outcomes, and suggested taking into account the power differential between the HKers and the CCP when making demands, would have been immediately accused of being a chinazi spy

I just think Hong Kongers in general don't pay attention to world politics and geopolitics. When the world drag HK politics into the tornado of Sino-US great power competition, alot of HK opinion leaders made incorrect assessments.

He's been renting a hotel in Bavaria well before Corona and basically lives there unless duty calls him to Thailand.

Maybe "normal life" is really lovely in Wuhan and it returned to that, but I was there a few weeks ago and it was like that ravenholm level in hl2. Though that flooding was pretty intense in some parts and probably added to the end of the world vibe.

So Huawei's high-end smartphone line is done absent some sort of trade deal that's unlikely to happen. Same for Huawei's ventures into other areas of tech: cloud computing, laptops, etc.

But I don't think you need 7nm fabs to pump out chips for 5G base stations as long as you're willing to up the power budget.

Assume Huawei gives up everything else to focus on its core network equipment business. Is it possible to get a greenfield ~28nm fab up-and-running within a year with no US-sourced tech?

The current sanction bans fabs from making Huawei designed soc and base station chips. So that means TSCM can not make kirin 990 whatever 8xx soc for their smartphones. But Huawei can still buy midrange soc from MediaTek 820 whatever for their midrange phones (which Huawei is already doing) and highend Snapdragon soc from Qualcomm (which I doubt Huawei will do).

However the US sanction had a 3 month buffer before it took effect so I assume Huawei had stockpiles tons of base station chips and maybe even some kirin chips. The reason I said that is Huawei is putting Kirin 990 into a lot of new models (P40 P40P P40P+ Honor 30P 30P+ etc), if they are running out of Kirin chips why would they do it.

But the sanction itself is really nasty, its really hard for Huawei to get around it. I think China pretty much have to neogociate a package deal. Probably hundreds of millions of soybeans for 5 year for lifting Huawei sanction and Huawei Princess, throw everything in a basket. Also China is already throttling rare earth export. Looks like the rare earth export in July was 60% lower, or something in that effect.

quote:

A senior ally of Chinese leader Xi Jinping called for a Mao-style purge of China’s domestic-security apparatus last month, saying it was time to “turn the blade inwards and scrape the poison off the bone.”

The cleansing commenced swiftly.

Within the first week after the call to action, Communist Party enforcers had launched investigations into at least 21 police and judicial officials, according to a media tally cited by the party’s top law-enforcement commission. Dozens more have since been taken down, including the police chief of Shanghai, the most senior target thus far, and cadres who have won awards for good performance.
