Gigabyte stated that they do not rate Chinese products as high quality, claiming that Taiwan-made electronics were of higher quality.

The reaction from the PRC was not long in coming.

The attempt to atack competitors ordering products from Chinese OEMs caused an immediate reaction in the Chinese segment of the Web. The statements were re-posted here more than 6,000 times, and the statement itself received more than 5,000 comments.

Gigabyte later issued an apology saying that the company "has been doing business in mainland China for over 20 years and will deeply analyze inappropriate comments and adjust actions to comply with national guidelines."

As it turned out, the manufacturer was late. Major Chinese retailers including JD.com and other major marketplaces have removed Gigabyte product offerings from their online platforms.

Three leading Chinese telecommunications companies - China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom - announced late last week that they will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) trading list in accordance with the US investment restrictions imposed by the Donald Trump administration last year.

US President Joe Biden upheld the decree amid continuing tensions between the world's two largest economies, despite objections from business. NYSE suspended trading in shares of China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom on January 11 this year.

The companies told investors last Friday that they had challenged their delisting from the New York Stock Exchange, but were notified on May 6 that their appeals had been rejected.

It is expected that few of large US companies having retail and other business presence in China will be asked to leave in coming month. Some rumors even suggest that Apple offline retail can be int his list.
