US godfather makes a chip offer you can’t understand
Asia Times ^

Posted on 11/05/2022 5:49:38 AM PDT by FarCenter

A baffled group of chip industry experts, in a symposium discussion published November 4 by the ChinaTalk newsletter, tried and failed to explain Washington’s new export curbs on chip tech to China.

A close reading of the Commerce Department’s specifications shows ignorance about the technologies involved and confusion – if not duplicity – about the ban’s implications for China’s military. The experts’ group concluded that the new policy was rushed into effect in panic mode, without weighing its civilian or military implications.

The new export controls “will restrict the People’s Republic of China’s ability to both purchase and manufacture certain high-end chips used in military applications,” the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security wrote October 7.

That makes no sense, according to the experts, who included Jay Goldberg of Digits to Dollars, Doug O’Laughlin of Fabricated Knowledge, ChinaTalk’s Jordan Schneider and Martin Chorzempa of the Peterson Institute for International Economics. At the laboratory level, they observed, China can make enough advanced chips to power its key weapons systems.

The chip ban is not really about military applications.

It is about curtailing China's commercial success.

But WTO rules don't allow that. So I has to be portrayed as about military applications.

Show us the misinformation/ lies/ propaganda.

Lay it out and explain how they are shaping the topic.

the US currently has export curbs to China on high-tech computer chips ... China wants very much to see them ended

then, this article conveniently appears saying the export curbs “make no sense” and - predictably - “will only hurt the US” ...

... in a media outlet known to be controlled by the Chinese Communists ...

so, I’m calling it a naked Chinese propaganda effort to rescind the export curbs

That is your opinion; post something to show how it might be factual.

Everyone views from a personal perspective, but that does not make it propaganda. Your post is subjective; is it propaganda?

Again I ask you to point out the misinformation/ lies/ propaganda.

Also, the author David Goldman AKA Spengler has a long and interesting history; almost a brand name.

Has the Asia Times been infiltrated by the Chicoms? A safe bet.

Has the New York Times been infiltrated by the left? Also a safe bet.
