Nijuu Link ParentYeah but the diversification has been going on the last few years to avoid having China as the sole supplier of the things you mentioned.

A ton of manufacturing has moved to Vietnam for example. In terms of tech Taiwan arguably is a bit more important than China (probably one reason they are trying to get Taiwan back into the fold)

Comment on US Congress approves bill banning TikTok unless Chinese owner ByteDance sells platform in ~tech
Nijuu LinkStrange question. Can or does this impact how other countries will treat Tiktok ?. If I remember correctly, over here (Australia) our government banned the use of the app in any government offices.Strange question. Can or does this impact how other countries will treat Tiktok ?.

I don't understand all the whinging by people about reddit. Maybe I don't frequent the biggest popular subreddits at all. Been using it for eons. No issues with my regular subreddits. Only issue for me is the bad UI of the website now. Really awkward to use (I'm using it via paid android app these days as a result ). Fwiw the only things that bother me with the site UI aside is all frequent use of meme art of gifs.. Annoying plus.
