Lenovo, Acer, Asus disregard U.S. economic sanctions, continue to sell computers in Russia

[Redaktion]

The three companies continue to supply Russia with computer equipment as they completely ignore the U.S. economic sanctions, despite having a quite sizable U.S. presence of their own. Such "rogue" companies could soon face sanctions themselves straight from the Biden administration.

Based computer manufacturers 💪

It seems like Taiwan's government needs to be put in check, to penalize its companies, rather than the US addressing these tech companies.

I'm sure that these two tech companies are not the only ones that are ignoring the US embargo on Russia in Taiwan.

Noice. Glad to own an Asus and Lenovo. Gonna get one more Lenovo now.

FYI Acer Lenovo & Asus is NOT from SEA countries. Lenovo also always has coupons every month. And don't put articles that suggest Russia bought a Legion 5 Pro 16, or a Zephyrus 15 or even a Swift X to command their army. duh

Quite a few of Russian bots we have in here.

As for the article itself, I'm not surprised at all about Lenovo, but this sure let us see their true colors and why I always stay away from their products.

Asus and Acer might be playing with fire in here, tho, so watch out.

Several people celebrating the atrocities of war and death of countless Russians and Ukrainians are absolutely evil.

This is rather superficial approach, and I think Notebookcheck should restrain from publishing such materials before they thoroughly learn the topic.

First, and foremost, there are no official sanctions (so far) which forbid selling civilian tech, including laptops, PCs etc., to retailers. So far, all exits of various vendors from the Russian retail market has been a voluntary action, not a compliance with sanctions policy.

Second, Lenovo and Asus have officially left Russian market, you can google for the official statements and news.

This article shows that the the author has no idea how relations between manufacturers and retailers work. Most of the retail products are realized through local partners. The manufacturer cannot force a local (Russian) partner to cease operations and stop selling their already delivered products. They can only stop the supply, but if the partners (vendors) have products in stock, they will sell them through all possible channels, and it has nothing to do with the manufacturer's policy.

Yeah, I agree with you here. I also didn't like the writer giving his own opinion and resorted to name-calling without statements from all sides.

It's obvious this is a super pro-Ukrainian site, and that's ok but at least be objective and balanced, though.

Why do non-US companies have to comply with US sanctions?

[VaruLV]

Not surprised by Lenovo doing it, but Asus and Acer, AFAIK, are Taiwanese companies, so they should know thing or two about aggressive and blood thirsty neighbors in the looks of China, so a bit surprising seeing them continuing doing business in nazi murderous ruSSia.

Correct. US imperialism has killed more civilians, brought more war/devastation, and exploited more people in the last 20 years than all of the other nations combined. Looking at the # of international military bases the US holds vs other countries pretty much confirms USian western colonialism 2.0 aks NATO and Ukraine nziss. Absolutely floored that the innocent Ukrainian people have to suffer for this.
