6 factories? It's hard to know what that means (are there currently 6, or 36?) and the timeframe.

USB-C law passed in EU www.cnn.com/2022/06/07/tech/europe-uscb-requirement/index.htmlIf there is not a good reason to use the lightning port, a good advantage, then this seems ok. But then there's the flip side of future technology. At some point there will be something "better" than usb-c, and will this slow the adoption? Going wireless seems like an option too. But with my experiences with CarPlay, where some functions don't work unless physically plugged in, and there is some very noticeable lag (.5-2 seconds?) even when switching songs while wireless, there could be some good reasons to have a plug around for a while even if wireless works well with the Watch.

"Chargers that support fast charging will also be required to adopt the same charging speeds."
Why? Same speeds as what? Maybe match the devices max supported charging?

"Chargers that support fast charging will also be required to adopt the same charging speeds."Why? I assumed it really meant the same charging power, so say 1 amp instead of .5 amps. All in the name of interoperability. But it all comes back to meaning well, but maybe not ending up that way. A "10 cent" recycling fee, payable upfront, for non-usb-c might have been a better way to do it. FWIW, while the iPhones have used 2 part chargers (separate charger and cord) for a while now, and some recent Apple laptops have, I'm glad too see that the new MagSafe adapter for the new M2 MBA is also a 2 piece. The old MagSafe AC adapters weren't, and they tended to go bad. It sucked to have to look at buying a new ~$120 charger, or trying to find a non-Apple one. Much better to have to just replace the cord, even though that's likely $20.

...regarding Apple, not the politics. Her title aside, I don't see that she has much standing. Monde 07/06/2022 thesaker.is 2 min 🇬🇧 #209733 Chen Wenlin (陈文玲), chief economist at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges Support Russia, take back Taiwan guancha.cn As far as the current Sino-US relationship is concerned, I would single out four crucial aspects. Firstly, if China and the United States can ease their hostile relationship, it will make a huge difference to overall world peace. But now American politicians, who have lost their minds, have taken a course towards a new Cold War towards China So we can have no illusions, we must prepare to fight. Secondly, most of the world is not willing to choose sides. Since the Sino-US trade war initiated by Trump, virtually all countries have expressed a very clear general trend, they are not willing to choose between China and the United States. Thirdly, American politicians are schizophrenics. From Biden to Blinken, to Catherine Tai and Janet Yellen, almost all high-ranking officials suffer from "schizophrenia." There really are no mature politicians in the United States, no politicians who are consistent in word and deed. High-ranking American officials and leading think-tanks have given the country no good ideas, have corrupted the orderly world and the rules created after World War II. Fourthly, China should be prepared not only for short-term confrontation, but also for long-term strategic preparation to counter the US plans to suppress China. If the US and the West impose destructive sanctions against China, similar to those against Russia, we must take back Taiwan, we must take over TSMC, the company that was originally owned by China. TSMC is forcing the transfer of its technology to the US to build six factories there, we must not let that happen. We must support Russia openly, reasonably and to the best of our ability. We can also do more in terms of trade so that China and Russia can connect through the Belt and Road and the Eurasian Union proposed by Putin. - Chen Wenlin (陈文玲), chief economist at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges newsnet.fr/read/chen-wenlin-384722599129618-chief-economist-at-the-china-center-for-international-economic-exchanges

If you lookup the Trade with China tread in the Dungeon there a plenty of links to stories where the Chinese Communist party declares their intention’s not only towards Taiwan but towards the world. They have also spoken of wanting to take control of Japan which would be their next target after Taiwan. The economic impact of these actions would not be pleasant to say the least.

Tell the Chinese if they touch Taiwan sanctions will be the least of their worries. How much history do we need to figure out that the one thing that doesn't work with communists is weakness?
