This is the right (even if now only possible) decision by Apple https://chinatechthreat.com/ ...

Allowing CCP-controlled YMTC into iPhones would have put our national security at serious risk and made us more reliant on China. I'm glad that Apple is dropping YMTC, as I urged last month, but they should not have considered YMTC in the first place. https://asia.nikkei.com/...

An escalating trade war with China will deepen inflation as companies take more expensive paths to getting components AND addressable markets of multiple industries shrinks causing price increases to address shortfalls. Globalization's end will hurt a lot https://asia.nikkei.com/…

Yet another decoupling sign. Biden is serious about chips and without advanced chips, China has become a very bad place to buy a lot of things. https://asia.nikkei.com/...

Apple had been considering eventually purchasing up to 40% of the NAND flash memory needed for all iPhones from 🇨🇳 government-subsidized YMTC, but now it has put on hold plans to use YMTC's memory chips in its products. https://asia.nikkei.com/...

Apple had already completed the monthslong process to certify YMTC's 128-layer 3D NAND flash memory for use in iPhones when the U.S. government unveiled the tighter export restrictions against China early this month, multiple sources said. https://asia.nikkei.com/...
