Editor's note: Finally, it is said that Chinese producers select their customers and supply those who are suitable. Until now, only silicon has been in short supply, not wafers. Suppressing wafer deliveries prevents cell producers and panel assemblers from offering a finished product!

Unfortunately the article is only available to Digitimes subscribers. If we had had access to it, it could have provided examples or cases of supply restriction. It is symptomatic that it is a Taiwanese media that reports on this case because it has branches in China. The Western media is simply repeating China's propaganda, which is well locked in.
