China's support for Putin wavers The Daily Mail

China has found itself walking a diplomatic tightrope after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine took many in Beijing by surprise.

It was reported today that several Chinese public banks are limiting financing to purchase raw materials from Russia for fear of Western sanctions should they be seen to be supporting the Kremlin.

About 30 percent of oil and gas produced in Russia now sold to China.

Is SHOCKED. Don’t worry ROC (or Taiwan as it is commonly known) is still next.

If China gets the Republic of China then they also get TSMC which is responsible for 40% of global silicon foundry output. In other words no more chips for Apple or Qualcomm. They would have us over a barrel.

TSMC should be made to setup a mirror foundry as soon as possible in the USA.

Tim Cook, remember Steve Job’s vision of using the California beach sand to make chips. You may want to dust that one off and drop a couple of billion quick to protect the USA…errr I mean your $100M bonus. It is in everyone’s best interest.
