Since you are the author, there's a near duplicated paragraph below the CPU/XPU pictures, the paragraphs starts with "Besides standing out and calling themselves".

Very interesting content otherwise, I remember the seal issue being something very controversial too when other companies went there (I believe it was regarding Intel, that was maybe 15 years ago). To this day it still is a pretty prevalent issue when doing local branches in China.

Thanks, I messed up when copying to from the actual site to the Substack, which is the one being shared here. Thanks!

Thanks for an interesting piece. Presumably Wu wouldn't have done this if he didn't have (or think he has) CCP approval? Also Son with his long term business interests in China probably thought he would be OK. Someone has miscalculated badly?

Arm China was conceived and even happened before Arm was bought by Softbank

> but loyal to China with deep CCP contacts

What are the evidence of this? Other than him being self interested and commit misconduct.

I don’t understand why this is buried and not at the top. Thanks for the article.

Did he register with the US gov. as a foreign agent? If not, he should be apprehended next time he enters the US.

Go look up the actual requirement for FARA before spewing nonsense.

The FARA act covers a person who “solicits, collects, disburses, or dispenses contributions, loans, money, or other things of value within the United States” while acting in the interests of a “foreign government, a foreign political party, any person outside the United States ... and any entity organized under the laws of a foreign country or having its principal place of business in a foreign country.”

But an individual person is not a foreign entity, especially not if they are a US citizen.

There is the loophole for "representing interests of a foreign principal before US government officials" though, so I guess this is written broadly enough to snag anyone who may step on some toes.

This is China, deep contacts with the CCP are expected. You can be sure that neither Musk nor Tesla has full control of the factory.

i agree. the problem i have with the author's comment is "loyal". I think we need to distinguish people from justing trying to make money (apple, microsoft, tesla) and being CCP agents.

The author clearly suggests this American CEO is a "loyal CCP" agent. I am just curious how did she/he spot him?

Last time I checked the US wasn't harvesting organs, running concentration camps, blatantly committing genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Yes, CCP bad.

In fact, the US is doing all of those things.

Nope, it's only doing #2, and in far smaller numbers.

I'll agree with this but the difference is drastic. Compare the number of people in Guantanamo to the number of people in Xinjiang. An order of magnitude of an order of magnitude difference.

Guantanamo is an embarrassment but it isn't even close to the Xinjiang camps

Very curious where the US is commiting genocide or ethnic cleansing. Honestly want to know.

Iraq and Afghanistan until recently. And we send billions to Israel which is a straight up apartheid state. That's not even getting into the millions of minorities in the world's largest prison population. We also killed a significant portion of the vietnamese population, in the millions. Also, you should look into the decades of CIA interventions in dozens of latin American countries.

You’re joking right? Indian reservations are their land. And they are free to move live work where ever without government oversight. This comment must be bait because I don’t see the logic.

America has the largest slave population in the world, both per capita and in absolute numbers. I know you think that's funny, but most people don't.
