    CA MNCs in the News
    Dec 22 2023

    This episode _just_ covers CA multinational corporations in the news with a special focus on them and East Asian international relations.  Lots of Japan and Korea, but, as you might expect, we have to chip away at some China semiconductor related news.  The EU doesn't want you to forget them so it gets some coverage, too.  Favs like Apple, Google, Facebook, AMAT make special appearances.
