They had one of the OG podcast apps, Google Listen from 2009, year after first Android phone release. Probably part of someones 5%. Which was surprisingly functional, and of course they killed it 3 years later.

No, the problem is PLENTY of people want to buy to speculate in PRC RE bubble, which cost even more in terms of misallocation long term. Hence RE crackdown, now there's vacancy rate / oversupply of ~50m units, which can be soaked

>Why? Because they are doing exact same thing they are afraid of. By this measure, US would be saturated in Huawei phones like PRC is in iPhones. And US streets would be clogged with Chinese cars the same way western cars on PRC streets.

They also get hot after microwaving, which for inpatient people like me is a deal breaker. E: obviously I can spend extra effort to handle a hot glass container, but I'd rather deal with container without that property. Even with plast

There is no difference. The point wasn't level of support/theatre/posturing but presence of support at all that tacitly indicates the level of intelligence behind Canada's accusation. It's credible enough that FVEY

For reference current PRC shipbuilding is like 2x of peak US WW2 production in terms of tonnage. Which probably doesn't matter during war time since Homefront production easier to degrade than ever.
