  • Simply banning the high quality low cost option doesn’t seem to accomplish much.

    This is not about quality and costs, but about Chinese forced labour (which is a major reason why it's so cheap), human rights, security as the Chinese government pursue a dictatorial policy.

  • Between Chinese Surveillance and Israeli Settler Colonialism

    There are extensive economic ties between China and Israel. China is Israel’s second-largest trading partner globally and takes the lead in Asia. The Belt and Road initiative has significantly catalyzed China-Israel cooperation. Major Chinese companies like China Railway Engineering Corporation, China Ocean Shipping Company, Huawei, China National Chemical Corporation, and ZTE Corporation are actively investing in Israel, while others such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Lenovo, Geely, and SAIC Motor have set up research and development centers in Israel.

    Specifically for Huawei, it acquired two Israeli technology innovation companies, HexaTier and Toganetworks, in 2016 for $42 million and $150 million, respectively. In the electric vehicle industry, in 2022 and 2023, the share of Chinese brands in the Israeli electric car market exceeded 50 percent and 60 percent respectively.

    Chinese car sales outlets abound in Israel, represented by companies like BYD, Geely, Hongqi, SAIC Motor, Chery, and Hozon Auto. In the field of infrastructure, in 2021, the Chinese company Pan-Mediterranean Engineering Company (PMEC) constructed the Ashdod Port in southern Israel. China State Construction Engineering Corporation constructed Haifa New Port Terminal, a vital node port of the Belt and Road, and the first time that Chinese enterprises exported “smart port” technology and management to a developed country.

    China Railway Engineering Corporation led the construction of the Red Line in Tel Aviv, the first light rail project constructed by a Chinese enterprise in the high-end market of a developed country. The current cooperation between China and Israel involves ports, subways, highways, tunnels and other fields, and the amount of cooperation reaches billions of dollars.

  • From the Encyclopedia Britannica:

    Whataboutism, the rhetorical practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation, by asking a different but related question, or by raising a different issue altogether. Whataboutism often serves to reduce the perceived plausibility or seriousness of the original accusation or question by suggesting that the person advancing it is hypocritical or that the responder’s misbehavior is not unique or unprecedented.

  • The firm that protects both banks and the Eurovision Song contest (2016) - (Archived link)

    Cloudflare's roots go back to 2004 when [Cloudflare co-founder Matthew] Prince and Cloudflare co-founder Lee Holloway were working on a computer industry project they called Honey Pot [...]

    Five years later [...] the project was far from his [Mr Prince's] mind, when he got an unexpected phone call from the US Department of Homeland Security asking him about the information he had gathered on attacks.

    Mr Prince recalls: "They said 'do you have any idea how valuable the data you have is? Is there any way you would sell us that data?'.

    "I added up the cost of running it, multiplied it by ten, and said 'how about $20,000 (£15,000)?'.

    "It felt like a lot of money. That cheque showed up so fast."

    Mr Prince, who has a degree in computer science, adds: "I was telling the story to Michelle Zatlyn, one of my classmates, and she said, 'if they'll pay for it, other people will pay for it'."
