Super Micro Moving Manufacturing Outside China to Allay Spyware Fears

R-T-B · May 7, 2019

Wow, I did not help but seriously guys, lets drive the topic back. This is NOT a geoploitical thread about China. It's about Supermicro, and fact is this article on them was a complete and utter hitjob.

It's not much different than if someone came and told the public "Aliens have planted spyware in every Apple product ever!" It's every bit as unbelievable to those in the know, but the average person in the world fears China (rightly or not is NOT the debate nor point) more than they fear aliens, hence they accept the bloomberg story.

That's pretty much the only difference. They have exactly the same level of substantiating evidence.

Not happening, as they have trade deals in place and they're continually negotiating new ones. The US is the biggest arms supplier to Taiwan, so dream on.

Taiwan will be reassimilated by China. Resistance is futile.

At this point if it did happen, the USA and EU would sit back and say "I dunno lol", just like they shamefully did with Ukraine.

Good thing there are other countries in the region that would care then, no?
