Honestly, the knock on effects of this cartel behavior should concern all countries, and be remediated with expediency.

From consumer electronics to the data-center, the rising real mfg costs and lack of supply is putting huge pressure on pricing, and may just drive anyone who cant negotiate with these suppliers out of business.

Once the dominoes start, I fail to see how things recover in less than 3-5 years, not counting all the businesses wiped out in the meanwhile.

How do we know it's cartel behavior, not just free market competition?
