You must love your own posts. China is on the verge of war with many of its neighbors, including Vietnam and Taiwan. It also has close trade ties with both. It is a very odd situation.

You know Foxconn that makes Apple iPhones in China, well it is a Taiwanese company. So iPhones are designed in the USA, and manufactured in China by a Taiwanese company.

It is a completely different situation from the Cold War with the USSR, because there was negligible trade with the USSR compared to the huge amount of trade with China.

TSMC is a Taiwanese company which is pretty much dedicating their new 3nm wafer technology to Apple for the new iPhone 15. Manufacture is being moved to India, Vietnam and Singapore to thwart the Chicoms.
