    Übrigens scheint es die Vorstellung zu geben, dass Bytedance nur blufft, wenn sie sagen, dass sie Tiktok nicht verkaufen werden. Die effektive Schließung der Plattform in den USA, wenn sie nicht mehr normal als Anwendung installiert werden kann, wäre sehr unpopulär, aber sollte das eine verbreitete Einschätzung bei Politikern sein, dann fürchten sie nicht unbedingt diesen Preis bezahlen zu müssen.


    Und natürlich würde Bytedance gleichzeitig ein großes Marktsegment verloren gehen und sie würden sehr viel Geld liegen lassen. Aber ich vermute die Entscheidung trifft letztlich die Volksrepublik China. Strategisch wäre es glaube ich ein Fehler ein Konkurrenz-Tiktok entstehen zu lassen, das dann selbst in andere Länder expandieren kann.


    (Also ich gehe davon aus wir reden hier nur über den Verkauf des US-Ablegers. So dreist das gesamte Unternehmen, alles außer Douyin, haben zu wollen, sind die US-Amerikaner denke ich dann doch nicht.)

    [...] Democrats also warned of the impact a ban would have on users in the U.S., including entrepreneurs and business owners. One of the no votes came from Rep. Jim Himes, the ranking Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee.

    “One of the key differences between us and those adversaries is the fact that they shut down newspapers, broadcast stations, and social media platforms. We do not,” Himes said. “We trust our citizens to be worthy of their democracy. We do not trust our government to decide what information they may or may not see.”

    The day before the House vote, top national security officials in the Biden administration held a closed-door briefing with lawmakers to discuss TikTok and the national security implications. Lawmakers are balancing those security concerns against a desire not to limit free speech online.

    “What we’ve tried to do here is be very thoughtful and deliberate about the need to force a divestiture of TikTok without granting any authority to the executive branch to regulate content or go after any American company,” said Rep. Mike Gallagher, the bill’s author, as he emerged from the briefing. [...]

    China’s Exports Are Surging. Get Ready for the Global Backlash.


    Increasing overseas sales of manufactured goods are helping China’s economy and creating employment, but countries from Europe to South Asia may lose jobs.


    China’s factory exports are powering ahead faster than almost anyone expected, putting jobs around the world in jeopardy and setting off a backlash that is gaining momentum.

    Nun das Marktanteilwachstum scheint dann wohl doch noch zu high zu. Der obere Artikel geht aber davon aus (hofft), dass die Chinesen ihre Marktdominanz jetzt endlich um die Ohren gehauen bekommen.

    Exclusive: Trump launched CIA covert influence operation against China


    WASHINGTON, March 14 - Two years into office, President Donald Trump authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at turning public opinion in China against its government, according to former U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the highly classified operation.


    Three former officials told Reuters that the CIA created a small team of operatives who used bogus internet identities to spread negative narratives about Xi Jinping’s government while leaking disparaging intelligence to overseas news outlets. The effort, which began in 2019, has not been previously reported.


    Müssen diese ganzen advertorials für die CIA nicht gekennzeichnet werden?


    Zitat

    Reuters was unable to determine the impact of the secret operations or whether the administration of President Joe Biden has maintained the CIA program. Kate Waters, a spokesperson for the Biden administration’s National Security Council, declined to comment on the program’s existence or whether it remains active. Two intelligence historians told Reuters that when the White House grants the CIA covert action authority, through an order known as a presidential finding, it often remains in place across administrations.

    China keeps on finding ways to hurt USA Inc.


    Aha, okay.


    Zitat

    Beijing appears to have found yet another way to hurt American business after Bloomberg reported on Friday that authorities there had started to ask domestic electric-vehicle manufacturers to ramp up their spending with local chipmakers — at the expense of US ones.


    The directive, said to be led by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, would align with efforts in China to revive a nationalist spirit by encouraging a focus on domestic industry over a reliance on the US.

    Weiß der Autor nichts über die US-Politik China Mikrochiptechnik vorzuenthalten? Mithin genau der Grund, warum man seine Abhängigkeit gegenüber den USA abbauen wollen würde. Also er hat was dazu im Artikel stehen ...


    Zitat

    US chipmakers have had some time to prepare for life without China. Nvidia, for instance, has acknowledged in filings that its "competitive position has been harmed" following the introduction of licensing requirements by the US last year that restrict exports to China.


    The US has had its own go of punishing China, of course.


    The tough export controls are as much of a pain to the sales numbers of chip giants like Nvidia as they are to Chinese companies that worry the technological capabilities of domestic firms lag those of their US counterparts.


    Ja, aber, aber. :S


    Letzter Erklärungsversuch, er dachte, es wird einfach?

    That said, pain is clearly going to be felt on both sides going forward. US tech firms might just be in for more pain than they first anticipated.

    Mehr alternative Fakten:



    Zitat von Arnaud Bertrand - Twix, 25.03.24

    [...] The funniest part of the video is when he says: "The cooperation between the PRC and Russia... in President Xi's words, a relationship that has not been seen in 100 years. And we should listen to him when he speaks. They tell us what they're thinking about."

    Well, he obviously didn't listen given Xi actually never said that. Xi always refers to "changes the likes of which we haven't seen for 100 years" going on in the world right now. Which is actually both a word of caution - there is potential danger, as the world is undergoing profound changes - and also cautious optimism, as in "let's make the most out of these changes".

    Aquilino may also refer to Xi being filmed telling Putin last year "这真是百年变局之一部分，我们共同来推动", which translates to "this is truly part of changes the likes of which we haven't seen for 100 years, let's navigate this together" (or, more literally, "let us push forward together"). So again, Xi wasn't characterizing the Russia-PRC relationship as "a relationship that has not been seen in 100 years", but he was referring to extraordinary changes going on in the world at the moment (hard to argue this is wrong), and that Russia and China had to navigate these changes together. This very sentence was widely mistranslated in Western media as "Right now, there are changes, the likes of which we have not seen for 100 years. And we are the ones driving these changes together". But this idea of these changes being caused by China and Russia is simply not there in Xi's sentence, the sentence simply conveys a sense of participation and mutual response to a broader transformation that is happening.

    Anyhow, in any case, it's immensely ironical that Aquilino would specifically say it's important to listen to Xi when he speaks, and then proceeded to demonstrate he very much hadn't...

    UK holds China state-affiliated organisations and individuals responsible for malicious cyber activity

    Yellen to warn China on excess production capacity, wants constructive talks


    NORCROSS, Georgia/WASHINGTON, March 27 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Wednesday she intends to warn China about the negative effects of Beijing's subsidies for its clean energy industries, including solar panels and electric vehicles, during a visit to the country.


    "I intend to talk to the Chinese when I visit about overcapacity in some of these industries, and make sure that they understand the undesirable impact that this is having - flooding the market with cheap goods - on the United States but also in many of our closest allies," Yellen told MSNBC in a live interview.


    Chinesische economy of scale ist wohl ein zu hartes Konkurrenzumfeld.
