Not that weird: "Since the US-China trade and technology confrontation spilled into public view in 2017, most of the attention has centered on trade conflict and the US campaign against Huawei, China's 5G leader and its most important global technology company. But recent US actions involving semiconductors present a more fundamental problem for China. Efforts to cut off the supply of cutting-edge semiconductors to Huawei and to encourage the construction of advanced chip factories on US soil have drawn the semiconductor industry into the US-China technology cold war, raising the stakes in the countries' trade and technology conflict."

  Wouldn't be surprised. It is a pity and a relief that the new face of war will simply result in infrastructure failing at slightly higher rates, in a slow escalation as each side sees what it can get away with while maintaining plausible deniability.

    Lem has mapped out a future like that in "Eden". Not sure if it's a great future to live in.

  So where's the evidence? It's easy to spew conspiracy theories about anything. Intel could've started the fire in ASML's plant to slow down TSMC. I could've shorted ASML's stock and started the fire to profit from the other side of the world.

    I don't believe any conspiracy was present here, or they would have done a better job. This is some food for thought though: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/09/world/europe/Czech-Russia-Munitions-Explosion.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/09/world/europe/Czech-Russia...

  > he is right, it is the same story as OVH's recent fires No, he is not, and you are not right either. Spewing baseless accusations, creating facts out of thin air, is best way to get flagged on HN. Yes, some countries want to slow EU. No, that does not give you right to claim it is a sabotage when you have absolutely zero knowledge about it.
