Rui Wang, SVP of Intel Corporation and chair of Intel China said that she expects to see mainland Chinese enterprises in the CPU space become Intel's competitors in the next 3-5 years, during an interview with local media Guancha.cn.

"So far there has not been any local companies that are able to deal a substantial threat to Intel," said Wang. "But in 3-5 years, it will become clear that local companies will emerge as strong rivals." China contributes more than 25% of Intel's revenues.

At present, local CPUs in China can be divided into three camps: Shanghai Zhaoxin Semiconductor and Hygon, which adopt the X86 core licensing model; Huawei's HiSilicon Kunpeng CPU and Phytium Technology in Tianjin, which adopt the ARM instruction set architecture licensing and self-designed CPU cores; and Loongson and Sunway Microelectronic, which develop their own instruction set architecture and IP cores. These three routes show a low to a high degree of independent control, but the ecological maturity is just the opposite, said Guancha.cn.

Wang was confident that Intel's sound Wintel ecosystem is not easy to beat. Although she hopes there will be local companies to compete with Intel in China, "Intel won't be polite, and will exert its power to compete fairly."

Danish A.P Moeller-Maersk A/S expects to complete all container operations with Russian containers by the end of April.

“Stopping business in a country like Russia is not so easy. Before the start of the military operation, we had more than 50,000 applications for the transportation of containers to Russia ... We expect that it will take us until the end of April to either otherwise, take out all the containers (from the loaded ports of Europe - IF)", - said the head of the AP Moeller-Maersk A/S Soren Skou at the company's annual shareholders meeting on Tuesday.

In addition, according to him, there are about 50,000 Maersk containers in Russia today, mostly empty. "We need them, we wouldn't want to leave them in Russia," he added.

"Therefore, we will still have several ships to Russian ports," Skou said.

Idea here is similar to that Hitler tried to do against UK. And authors of this modern idea are mostly ancestors of original authors.

The Japanese manufacturer of copier and laser equipment, cameras and camcorders Ricoh has announced the suspension of shipments of its products to Russia.

Wildberries had a global outage. All purchases have disappeared in the personal account, it is impossible to place new orders, the points of issue of orders are open, but the goods are not issued.

According to Downdetector, the largest online retailer has problems throughout Russia. The number of complaints exceeded 7.5 thousand. Most of all from Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sochi.

The official Wildberries telegram channel reports that “the regular operation of the portal will be restored in the near future.” Restoration work is underway.

Such thing can't be random or accidental (in such case it is possible to revers quite fast), as stopping such portal for even few hours cost billions.
