News Chinese chip giants say they don't care about U.S. tariffs — many don't sell to the U.S. anyway due to existing sanctions

[Admin]

Multiple publicly traded Chinese companies have notified their investors that the recently imposed tariffs from the trade war do not concern them largely because US sanctions have already prevented them from selling into the US.

This makes sense. I expect little demand for Chinese brands outside of China. It's more about all the products they manufacture for non-Chinese well-known brands that are suspect to tariffs. And America seems to be aware of tactics to sell to a 3rd party country to then sell to the US to try to circumvent the tariffs. Therefore it seems likely that China won't have an easy path to continue doing this - unless they change course and strike a deal that's more favorable for the USA as everyone else is being motivated to do.

wallmart and co. can now downsize store size by 75%. They will save so much money!
And it is good for the environment if we just keep using the same hardware until the US fabs are up in 2037.

Good news...😉 The Trump administration has exempted all computer chips, computers, and associated electronics from tariffs.

Thought you guys would like to know if you haven't already seen it.

I don't think that modern hardware will survive so many years. If was something on 32 or 28, or 22 nm from before 13-15 years, and SLC or MLC SSDs...
