China blocks some Taiwan imports but avoids chip disruption

Taiwan should limit and reduce it's chip exports to China every time they carry out threatening "exerises" around Tawan. The more threatening, the greater the reduction.

The interesting thing about people once they get a taste of democracy/self-determination/ liberty (or whatever synonym one chooses): once they get a taste of it, they’re willing to put up with a rather larger amount of deprivation to hang on to it.

If the Chinese think economic sanctions or a blockade (assuming one could be maintained which is quite an assumption) will make them buckle to the CCP’s will, they are likely to be disappointed.

Hold on, China says Taiwan is theirs, so they are sanctioning themselves?

Its a bold move Cotton, let's see if it pays off.

Every time China (or West Taiwan) has blocked food imports from Taiwan they have ended up increasing their exports to the rest of the world to their long term advantage and reduction of legacy reliance on one unstable market. Keep it up China and Taiwan will no longer need to do any business with you, especially chips!

I like that photo. No prepackaged plastic wrapped fruit in sight!

Taiwan, please export your products to Japan instead of China.

Amazon - an American Company, should be the aim of our complaints. it supports the CCP by flooding the Marketplace with Chinese made rip-offs, which are both dangerous and poorly constructed.

I would hope, people, who are concerned about China's dominance, start paying attention to the role that Amazon plays here - and it's lack of transparency for buyers of products upon it's website too.

Chip disruption is all and fine, but what about the guacamole?!

@GBR48 LMFAO Ask yourself what does China grow? Ask yourself why the people of China shop outside their own country and want to leave. If the country was that great the people would stay. If you are aware of what is going on in China today, the real estate market is bankrupt, the banking system is broke people can't get their own hard earn money out, but the country wants them to make deposits to banks. How backwards thinking is that. The construction of large building are doing the same thing the people are doing and that is laying "FLAT" I wouldn't live in one of those high rise building for free if they paid me to. My advice research and see what is going on in China. The people are getting flooded out of their homes because they gov released over filled dams that their brilliant engineers build only to realize it to was a failure so they release the water and it flooded outed cities. LMFAO you said annoying the US and building a military base in Cuba, the cubans can't trust the Chinese never has and never will. China is a hungry dog with a large bark and no teeth!!!! The only thing the Chinese invented was gun powder and they really put on a great fireworks show, while the US military sat and watched!!! Its a chess game and they did exactly what was expected put on a show and now the US knows!!!

Food will become increasingly scarce due to climate change. China refusing to import it is great news. More for the RotW.

If they really wanted to annoy the US, they would open a military base in Cuba.

“but avoided sanctions on Taiwanese processor chips for Chinese assemblers of smartphones and other electronics, a step that would send shockwaves through the global economy”

Translated, that means it would COST THEM HARD Currency, from all the manufacturing done in china, we just want to hurt the Taiwanese.

Well said, JTC. Amzn refuses to crack down on cheap chinanese rip-offs of other people's stuff.
