News New US restrictions could prevent leading chip manufacturers from installing chipmaking tools in their China fabs — TSMC, Samsung, and SK hynix pot...

I just cannot understand how the US gov has the right to tell a private company based in a foreign country who they can and cannot trade with it's just ludicrous tell the US to shove it
 
Can we just not remove the US from the equation? Just leave the US out, the rest of the world will be fine.
No, unfortunately, if you want to do business in the western world, you have to deal with the boss.
Yes, empires lose power and thrashing around aimlessly is a symptom. It takes time.

example: The Roman empire took some 400~500 years to die after Julius Caesar, a demagogue, died.

Suppose it's the other way around, do you think US or any other country will abide by what China tells them not to use?
 
Hmm so ok let's say TSMC for example tells the US to go screw and sells chips to whoever they want do you honestly think the USA could survive without them or the chip making tool folks who are after all Dutch did the same the USA is going to stop importing all chips made on their machines? Not going to happen this is pure and simple anti trade behaviour I know the Chinese steal and copy but the darling of American tech openly did the same you may remember him he was called Steve Jobs.
