Re <<This makes sense, imagine paying employees over shareholders>>

… easier to do when the employees are the shareholders, and better, when the shareholders are producing to earn, each according to capabilities / capacities, per Marx, iow, neo-socialism + state-championed capitalism

Am not ready to abandon Apple eco system for Huawei universe, but am pondering to co-exist w/ Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ and Watch Ultimate, together with Apple suite of iPhone, iPad, Mac Book Pro and Mac. I simply want to have satellite comm capabilities even as have no particular need for such, as a collectible as the Huawei pair-trade might later prove pivotal and therefore gain value especially if kept brand new in original packaging. Need to venture to the Huawei store in HK new territories or even cross the border to Shenzhen.

Apple’s new iPhone 15 series gets mixed reaction from some Chinese consumers

Apple’s launch of its iPhone 15 series of 5G handsets drew mixed reactions from some mainland Chinese consumers on Wednesday amid the recent hype over Huawei Technologies’ new Mate 60 Pro, while analysts expected the US tech giant to still lead the high-end segment of the world’s largest smartphone market.

On Chinese social media, a number of consumers commented on the lack of compelling new advances in the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship product line, which was unveiled on Tuesday at the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, California.

Some netizens indicated on their online posts that the new iPhones, which will be widely available on September 22, did not compare favourably with Huawei’s 5G Mate 60 Pro and Mate 60 Pro+ handsets, which had low-key presales campaigns on the mainland weeks ago and triggered plenty of industry speculation about the “breakthrough” made-in-China processorused on the devices.

Am told a strange story, and I wait to see, that perhaps maybe possibly Team China found several ways to do the wet work on and against ASML

(1) photonic chip vector, for the longer term

photonic requires less explanation, enough to say that all domains about even on the technology, iow level playing field

(2) lithography plant (factory) in the shorter horizon

lithography plant idea is a doozy, premised on the possible truth that ASML lithography machines are intricate and expensive because (a) they are good (get the job) done, (b) complicated due to miniaturisation (when disassembled fits into ~40 containers for shipping), and therefore (c) very expensive, especially as due to monopoly status.

Team China supposedly building commercial-class proof-of-concept pilot-plant that (a) gets the job chip-making done at whatever nanometer, without (b) the complication of miniaturisation (given no need to export the plant), in order to (c) drive the cost of any nanometer chip to the cost of cabbage, and (d) export the resultant output.

If true and works, that be two if's, then ohwhoaweegeewhizbang, very based, and totally 'out of the box', especially as the move would concurrently drive ASML as well as all its clients to ... how to put it politely ... the wall per winner take all, last maker standing.
