Sometimes the level of dishonesty of the American "free" press just literally takes my breath away.
In this Business Insider article by @_hasanc entitled "China keeps on finding ways to hurt USA Inc." they blame China for "asking domestic EV companies to ramp up spending with local chipmakers", and present this as an evil move by the "CCP" to hurt American businesses.
When the truth, which I thought everyone ought to be aware of by now, is that the US unleashed unprecedented sanctions on China wrt semiconductors, making it illegal for China to purchase the most advanced generation of chips from US companies (and US vassals). So OBVIOUSLY China has little other choice left than turning to local chipmakers 🤦♂️
In other words not only is the US making it illegal for China to purchase US chips, but on top of that they blame China for turning to its own chipmakers as a result, because that means China is "hurting American businesses".
The shamelessness is absolutely maddening!
