An ongoing topic - click here for Most Recent Post An interesting interpretation of "a contentious US government request to submit chip data" as "a move described by industry observers as yet another instance of US hegemony that coerces global semiconductor supply chains to bow to arbitrary requirements way beyond commercial standards". US #chip information request, seen as a possible maneuver to target China, a thorn in the flesh for US desires for chip leadership, could create more problems than it solves, analysts say. The affected businesses can resort to legal action. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202111/1238455.shtml from the Global Times on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/globaltimesnews/posts/4643765325704331 Chip data request latest instance of US hegemony, may hit legal snags By GT staff reporters Published: Nov 08, 2021 10:38 PM Political trickery The request, unveiled by the US Commerce Department in late September, smacks of an attempt to contain China's tech rise under the disguise of addressing chip shortages, according to industry insiders. It remains obscure as to what might be next on the US government agenda after the collection of chip supply chain information, but it seems almost for sure that such a request aims at cornering Chinese tech firms, a semiconductor industry insider told the Global Times on Sunday on condition of anonymity. TSMC and other possible submitters such as Samsung have partnerships with Chinese firms including Huawei. What the US requests to submit largely falls under commercial secrets and products parameters of some Chinese mainland firms are among them, the insider said, arguing against the unreasonable request.

from the Global Times It would seem that China needs to learn to handle its "internal matters" internally.

Hello. Here is a link to news story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-26129171 The article starts by saying: " China and Taiwan are about to begin the highest-level talks since the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949. Wang Yu-chi and Zhang Zhijun, the top cross-strait officials from each side, will meet at the four-day talks in Nanjing. " I wonder where these talks will lead to. It could be interesting but I have my doubts they will find enough common middle ground to stand together on. Danb

I know that a US Green Card holder can visit Canada without a visa, but I'm curious if holding a green card (and flying from the US) would loosen the restrictions for a mainland Chinese visiting Taiwan. There's no near-term plans, but WeiLing is hoping that she can visit Taiwan some time in the future (and probably before citizenship). Anyone have experience with this? -
Just saw this today: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8658886.stm and wondered if anyone knows how easy it is now for PRC citizens to visit Taiwan -- do they still have to go as part of a tour? Looking for places to visit together (especially in winter) that are (1) out of the country so she can leave the PRC and then go back (maybe that will help later when I try to get her to the US), and (2) Chinese-speaking countries so she will feel at ease and I can continue to improve my Mandarin. Taiwan seems an obvious choice (assuming it's easy for a US citizen to get a visa).
