US President Donald Trump has once again launched an order against the Chinese administration. Has re-established a commercial ban on Asian products. China for its part is not going to stand idly by and can fight back. The real losers of all these clashes, we will be the end users because China warns with blocking supplies to companies like Apple or Qualcomm.
Once again Mr. Trum returns to his old ways. Se could block semiconductor shipments they are the "direct product of certain US software and technology."
In this way, China would run out of materials needed to manufacture certain devices. But of course, China is autonomous enough to be able to take your own action against. This will affect companies like Apple that need imports of some products that are manufactured in China.
In fact, the Asian government is considering “blunt countermeasures to protect their own legitimate rights ”, as stated by the Global Times, subsidiary newspaper of the Communist Party of China.
Beijing seems to have its sights set on those US companies that are heavily dependent on the Chinese market, including Apple, Qualcomm, Cisco and Boeing.
The story is repeated that it already happened in May 2019. The United States government imposed a ban on Huawei. Prevented acquiring American technology and banned US telecommunications companies from using equipment produced by Huawei.
This ban inspired some companies in China to threaten to fire employees who they used the company's products American instead of Chinese.
Eventually the blood did not reach the river, but now things may get worse and China does follow through on its threats so Apple, like other companies, could suffer supply shortages and therefore delivery times would increase.
