Success! Your support has registered a critical hit!
Governments in practice enjoy immunity from private lawsuits.
The only way for this to have any meaning would be if his government sued them on their behalf, won, then seized some of those government assets from the zionist state under their jurisdiction or moved to have them frozen by friendly nations who complied and handed them over or to arrest relevant officials and extradite them. Needless to say the west will NEVER do this to isn'treal or its intelligence agents, certainly not for fake-China which is only kept around for use as fodder and unsinkable aircraft carrier against real China.
This company is fucked (well maybe, they'll probably just rebrand) but this won't be the end of western fuckery. Let's not forget the hardware spy implants the NSA put in Cisco gear shipped to China in the early 2000s to mid 2010s (and potentially elsewhere as they were spying on Germany and other "allies"), Cisco protested, might have even launched a lawsuit but there was nothing they could do to stop it or to get compensation from it.
the KMT doesn't represent Taiwan so calling Taiwan fake-China is absurd. Also, the better example is the SuperMicro accusations. It's essentially a Taiwanese ran company that's American. The feds via bloomberg tried to do China-bad propaganda by saying there were Chinese spy chips in supermicro mobos but they couldn't provide proof and evidence SHOULD be easy to get since it's a physical chip that you should be able to see. I dunno why the feds targeted a Taiwanese company. Maybe they didn't play ball and they got the stick. Bloomberg's reputation went to shit among people that were reasonably tech savy as a result.

Possible but the US is a gangster state. They've done shake-downs and disruption of French companies, Japanese companies, etc. It may be they were just trying to injure it to benefit US based competitors who would for example allow them to put their own spy-chips in server hardware bound for China or Japan or France or Germany. But as you say they may have been trying to get something and they wouldn't cooperate, perhaps the US tried to bully them into moving some production to India or the US or some place further afield from China's grasp and they refused and that would be enough. Heck the US has targeted and ruined US companies for not playing ball. There was a telecom called Qwest or something with a Q, they wouldn't cooperate with the NSA bulk gathering illegal wiretap program and the government pulled all contracts from them and ruined them. So simply refusing a request with these gangsters is enough for them to at the least fire a shot across your bow as a threat if not try to take you out entirely.

I was doing a thing since, you know the territorial claims and anti-China liberals like to talk nonsense. Fact is they were to much of the world "real China" for years at the UN and elsewhere until getting unrecognized so they kind of are now the fake one, the pretender in every way. I think I see what you mean though.
maybe we'll get a real schism between the two U.S. puppets
US backs Israel and drives the business leaders of Taiwan into the arms of China. The west loses control of 95% of silicon manufacturing because of supporting zionist terrorism. Occupied Korea looks on and starts to back away from US after seeing what happened.
finally someone using the lathe for good
maybe if we shake the lathe hard enough we can get it to kick in faster
Who's that hexbear that goes jogging to make stuff happen? Get them in here ASAP we need to schedule a marathon.
I wonder if the Japanese company who produced the walkie talkies will also follow (law)suit?
It's actually amazing to me that Israel decided to use commodities as a weapon - this is not in the interest of traditional global capital
I heard that Israel strongarmed Intel into promising to build a fab plant there.
Maybe they've assessed that they're economically fucked anyway
I think they're just genuinely too short sighted to consider anything beyond the next day tbh
The US has them and that's all they care about
This seems like the kind of thing that could harm a lot of business for western companies in the global south. Guess it is good news for China though.
thank you for the update, Megatron and the Ottoman Empire
I'm curious how the US will respond to this, if they do at all. On the one hand, there is their unyielding support to Israel. On the other, they are ruled by capitalists, who can't be happy about this. Although it's mostly finance and tech capitalists and not commodity manufacturers, so maybe they don't care?
Good luck, but I appreciate the hustle.
Fascist infighting! Let me get the popcorn
Huh, I'd been wondering earlier today if it would be possible for Gold Apollo to sue Israel for reputational damages. Guess I have my answer.
