Workers are pushing for a $27 #minimum #wage at the #semiconductor plant, which they say is the minimum required to live in the #Beaverton area. They are currently paid around $21 an hour.

I posted it 2 weeks ago. Others seems to be starting to see it.
Huawei is changing the game in #semiconductor industry, dominated for decades by US.
They learned that instead of manufacturing products for US and bound by US and #EU parents, they started from scratch using their massive army of engineers with almost unlimited money to jump over decades of development into something that will shock the world even more when the first drones, cruise missiles and fighter jets powered by 100% Chinese components hits the market.
US won the battle against Huawei and #Russia by imposing though sanctions, but they thought them a lesson, that western companies can't be trusted and they act on the orders of their governments.
The free market economy the western nations brag about, is nothing than a global cartel working hand in hand with their military and politicians.
Now it's china's turn to use it's 2B+ consumer's of #BRICS nations and the counties standing in line to join.
This is the main reason US wants to go to war with #China.

Power play
In the wake of a new #Pentagon assessment that Chinese military strength has grown such that the #US can no longer defeat #China in a battle over #Taiwan, the US is seriously considering a scorched earth policy to deny Taiwan's critical #semiconductor manufacturing industry to China if it attempts to assert its sovereignty over the island by force.
Holy cow! Biden isn't messing around here.
FTA: "... any U.S. citizen or green card holder working in China cannot work in the Chinese semiconductor industry or risk of losing American citizenship."
