NVIDIA to Relocate Logistics Center From Hong Kong to Taiwan
According to news out of Taiwan, NVIDIA is getting ready to move its logistics center from Hong Kong to Taiwan. The information comes from Taiwan's Minister of Economic Affairs, Wang Mei-Hua, so the source should be fairly reliable. The Taiwanese government has apparently been in negotiation with NVIDIA since some time last year and the two have now reached a consensus.
The media report didn't mention where NVIDIA will locate its new logistics center, but the company and the Taiwanese government have been discussing tax subsidies to help facilitate the move. Wang told the local media that the new logistics center should boost the local industry, least not because NVIDIA is already working with TSMC, as well as many other local suppliers and manufacturers. No details were given on when the move would take place, but it's likely to be a transition that will be drawn out, due to the fact that NVIDIA is still going to have to supply all of its customers during the move.

If this means more availability, I'm all for it if it affects prices downward. Such large scale moves are clearly politically motivated. This thread was political once the news was posted.
All in all, I see what you're saying, but it's really hard to split politics from this article because it has everything to do with world politics.
To politics, economy and politics can't be separated, if the investment is located in totalitarian states, who are confrontational. If nVidia disinvest in China, western countries impose sanctions, China threatens Taiwan with war, there are only two possibilities:

I agree that, knowing this would spark polical conversation, TPU should have disabled comments to avoid such arguments that plays footsie with the Forum Rules. And this thread should be closed since its heading off topic.
I'm giving an example by not discussing politics, and ignoring all the provocations to do so.By my definition, we should try not to engage discussion which could lead to insults to the whole nations, using judgement based on individual preferences, and stay on tech related topic.
Also, if people are being dicks, just report the posts and leave it at that. If it's more than the mods want to handle, they'll lock the thread. We don't need to "play moderator," as TPU has some pretty awesome mods. Let them do what they're good at.
I do have faith in our mods, and I know they have fair judgement, that's why I even bother. And yes I do report when i feel something is over the edge.
I guess it's enough from me on this. I'll try to ignore these from now on. It feels like fighting the windmills anyway. :D
