With all the events happening right now I find it really hard to justify buying products made in China/Russia/Belarus. This product looks great, but I'll never have a clean conscious knowing my money is by extension financing terrorists.

Phenomenal news. I’m hoping competition drives prices down. Remarkable 2 looks neat but so expensive. Now there’s choice.
RRP €499 (around $558) according to https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/28/22954498/huawei-matepad-p...
Hm, is that really a competitive price these days? That's more than 130 Euros more than an entry-level iPad... which has a long and good track record.

I think you have a good notion about not buying Chinese stuff, but that reason doesn't make much sense to me. I've heard people say that the US might have caused the deaths of half a million children in the aftermath of the Iraq invasion; do you buy anything from the US?
All I can hope for is that after what is happening now that Russia will face the ICC and the western countries that have committed crimes will also face justice.

You prefer China (presumably here we mean the CCP) to any American corporation, because some American companies have done the moral wrong of sometimes folding to the CCP? Seems a bit inside out.
Thanks to our dumb politicians, we produced dumb citizens, with a dumb education

It's an electronic notepad. I'm not paying a monthly subscription for what should be basic features and can be performed on-device. Sorry. Enterprise features like integration with enterprise software, SSO, MFA etc? Totally different, and happy to pay.
