It's only a problem if you (think you) know what people should be buying. In the free world, we have a right to choose what we want to spend our $$$ on.
We don't live in a free world, if you think we do then you could continue living with that delusion. Whether it's the dictatorial govt from China or the corrupt megacorps from somewhere else, all of their hands are soaked in blood one way or another! It's just who you want to support, or not :shadedshu:

a nation should only commit human right offenses against other countries citizens, like with guantanuamo or the Chagossian people. But not even that with the discriminatory black people killing by the police inside the US borders. Anyway... this should not be political topic.
Pet capita white people are more likely to be shot, but our media is doing everything they can to tear people apart by pushing lies, and speaking the truth is considered “ist”

I vote that any company that wants to sell technology products in the US is not allowed to use China for manufacturing, assembly, or distribution. And that all countries stop spying on people and leave each other alone.

there are even countries spying on other countries, listening on other presidents phones, let alone people. And spoiler alert it isn't China

They just like to call out other countries for doing it, whilst ignoring the fact they do it to others all the time.

Good luck with that.

It’s a dream, we all need to move past the politics and do what’s best for those in our country, our future generations and ourselves.

It’s both sad and hilarious that we are at a point where speaking truth is regarded as hate and telling others what we need and want is sickening weighed up against the unfortunate reality of a global community and the needs of all.

At the end of the day F Apple, sent from my IPhone, cause it was free. I hope someone makes phones that are as good as this SE for free cause I’m ready to have a headphone Jack not just on my work phone.

All of you are going off on a tangent about conspiracy theories and "America bad", but no one is asking why this turn of events is happening now, in particular at a moment where the US administration is barring sales of sensitive technology to China..

China has sent ultimatums to tech companies in the past (mostly software), where not meeting some condition or criteria, would result in getting booted from the market. IBM and SAP are all too aware of this.

YMTC is NOT on par with Samsung, SK Hynix or Micron. So why is no one asking about the choice?

Personally, I'd doubt the fail rate and durability of these NAND chips, but then again... they only need to last till their planned obsolescence date, right?

If you read the posts you will realize that the question wasn't ignored.

And people not mentioning it, doesn't mean they haven't done that question in their heads. Usually we have 10 thoughts/question in our heads, but we keep our posts simple and only write 1-2 of them.

For all the Apple flaws their stuff not surviving time seems like a weird complaint to me, there are people everyday using iphones, ipads, ilaptops and even inotpcs from 10 years ago and more. Maybe not in some rich places i guess, so you could have missed it. Their stuff is like cockroaches

Since this thread is predicably in the shitter, I'm just going to say I can't find any reliable evidence backing this statement. The opposite however...
