| Memory chip shortage lasting *until China floods the market with their cheaper but rigged chips. FTFY. At the rate China's moving on this, it won't be long till they get a stranglehold on the consumer chip market. |

| What’s a “rigged” chip in this context? |

| ▲ | fakedang 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | Are we still fooling ourselves thinking that China is such a benevolent manufacturing partner? I don't mind China - heck, I've even had dinner with some CCP honchos and would gladly partner with the Chinese given the right opportunity. But you're deluding yourself if you think Chinese devices aren't backdoored. We had to strip all of our office infra from Huawei to Ericsson and Axis after we found that practically everything Chinese was phoning back to home and sending GBs of data cumulatively. You can respect an adversary without needing to trust them. | | |

| The Chinese will use this stupidity by the memory cartel to get into the worldwide memory market it is a perfect entry point and they will sell to anyone who wants to buy no strings attached. All you need to do is look at the way they do business across the world. They don’t want to be your mama and they don’t wanna be your daddy. They just want to close a business deal. The art of selling and trading is a hell of a lot older in China than the so-called communist party which only dates from 1921 in China. In short labeling them communist is very shortsighted The culture is thousands of years old. |

Honestly I don't mind the Chinese approach - at least you don't get bullied, unlike dealing with America. Of course, experiences vary if you're in their sphere of influence. |
