They're all Chinese phones, just some of them pretend to be American or Japanese. Sony still make phones right? I dunno. Probably.

Oh or Korean. Can't forget the Samsung conglomerate.

Is it just a coincidence that this is also the name of the famous Misora Hibari song (kawa no nagare no you ni), or is "like a flowing river" just an idiom in both cultures (which wouldn't exactly be that surprising).

Modi also handed Xiaomi fat fines to keep the money inside India.

he did that because his boy ambani was trying to sell iphones in india under a contract system. Modi always has had a shockingly down to earth sense of scale during his administration.

Regarding Xi's pending APEC visit to the US in Nov, I think the trend is leading toward not happening. There are some signs but you can see the table is being flipped in slowly motion.

* US sanction the HK Chief Ex Lee. It was a freak accident because the GOP forced White house's hand on it, but still the DEM ideologically has no way to resolve it

* More tech war, like I said, Huawei wanted a low profile launch, but Beijing told them to surprise launch it like some kind of Beyonce album, also move up the schedule

* Apple government office ban, this is a response to US provincial governments banning Tik tok, Beijing doesn't need to pick Apple to respond but they did, this has a sizable impact on the US stock market when Biden needs the market up. There sre financial wars secretly being fought in the dark. Also Yuan keep dropping.

* Xi not going to G20 so no chance of Biden blocking him in the alley like little Trudeau.

There have to be more cards being played before the Nov Apec summit.

From the US POV in order to get Xi visit happen, they need to at least resolve the HK CE sanction and no more tech sanction this year. So the ball is at Biden's court.

Long term its going to be pretty embarassing if the actual producing economies don't turn up to future G20s because of I don't know unfortunate scheduling issues here go talk to this deputy functionary who will take your business card and smile politely.

Samsung is just giving them away, traded in my old sanctioned Huawei P30 pro two months ago for a 50% discount on a brand new S23.

The Huawei phone was also on a 50% discount in 2019 thanks to Mr Trump. The man did know how to get a good deal.

What G20 related thing was it again, that China skip out on because modi wanted to do it in kashmir? Wasn't that this year also?

G20 is essentially the G7 countries meeting the Brics countries (especially after Indonesia joining Brics next year)

The 2 groups are not going to have any consensus because for the next few years the G7 dudes only want to talk about Ukraine.

Also the G7 dudes are too racist to let SKorea join, hilarious.

G20 was a compromise because they didn't want to add China to the G7 then threw in a bunch if other countries to dilute potential Chinese influence.
