Yeah, it seems like a lot of hot air to prop up a false equivalency.
I suggest not asking questions you don't want the answers to.
People are interested in valid answers, not gaslighting.

Does it being "designed in California" but "made in Taiwan" really make a difference? If Taiwan was to be invaded and TSMC follows through with their threat of destroying all of the fabs, Apple's home-woven basket wouldn't be worth much at all
If the US or the Netherlands were being invaded that world also wreak havoc, but how is that related to the links between China and Intel's CEO?
Invading the US or Netherlands would not impact chip production. How are you not able to grasp that?

My read is that this is a mature response to an immature accusation. This guy is well known in the industry for being mature, responsible, and having high standards. Given that context, and the context in which accusations are being made, the unfounded idea that he is corrupt due to links to China says a lot more about those spouting that idea than it does about him. Refuting individual claims would be engaging with…
And yet this "man of integrity" didnt come out and say he has no ties to China? He just deflected and said the US has been his home for 40 years which is deflecting the point.

#75Some context is available here: https://apnews.com/article/intel-trump-cotton-yeary-tan-2061... FTA: “In March 2025, Intel appointed Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO,” Cotton wrote in the letter. “Mr. Tan reportedly controls dozens of Chinese companies and has a stake in hundreds of Chinese advanced-manufacturing and chip firms. At least eight of these companies reportedly have ties to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.”
If true, questions should also be raised about the Board who must have signed off on any conflicts of interest.
This is entirely on the board. They didn’t know / They didn’t clear first with govt. Either way it’s grossly negligent.

Stupid flamebait. Not a sitting president and the NSA doesn't need a warrant for foreign targets.

Nobody really knows if 18a is a failure or if it was turned into one by deliberate mismanagement. It feels like when Microsoft took over Nokia.

#78First, you need to know the emotional bond between Chinese Malaysians and the Chinese Communist Party, before you can say his actions are not suspicious.

Partly home-made. Arm Holdings is British-based, but owned by Softbank Group (Japanese).
Apple still holds the license to the arm arches/designs they've used. There's enough customization applied that I'd guess Apple could function absent ARM, even if it's not the ideal scenario for them. Plus Britain and Japan are both somewhere between close allies and client states. Nobody cares if we license from them.
Apple is also not a regular ARM licensee. They have a special deal because they were a very early investor when they wanted a chip to power the Newton back in the day.

#80who buys intel instead of AMD at this point?
I own both, though admittedly Intel has not panned out so far.
