Cisco was one of the first high-tech companies to halt its business in Russia and Belarus after the former started its full-scale war against Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

During the company's exit, Cisco's Russian subsidiary physically destroyed unsold equipment worth 1.9 billion rubles ($23.5 million), reports CNews citing the state-run Tass agency. 

Network giant Cisco destroyed its equipment stocks worth almost 1.9 billion rubles ($23.5 million) in January 2023, months after announcing its decision to discontinue operations in Russia and Belarus in March 2022. The physically destroyed equipment included mainly spare parts for the company's devices that were not sold due to the current policy imposed by Cisco. Meanwhile, it is unclear whether those spare parts also fall under the U.S. sanctions against Russia.

Despite the financial impact, Cisco made the decision to destroy the equipment rather than allow it to fall into Russian hands. But while $23.5 million sounds like a lot of money, the actual impact seems to be considerably higher.

While the Russian news agency claims that the equipment was destroyed in January, Cisco's financial report for the quarter that ended January 28, 2023, does not mention this in any way. This is because the company essentially wrote off $67 million worth of assets, including spare parts already imported to Russia as well as furniture and cars, after conducting a risk assessment of its assets and potential financial exposures in Russia and Belarus as early as calendar Q1 2022.

Based on the assessment, Cisco reserved for the non-recoverability of most of its assets in these countries. Consequently, it recorded non-recurring charges of $67 million in its cost of sales and operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. These charges were related to the non-recoverability of certain assets and special personnel-related expenses aimed at supporting affected employees.

It should be noted that for Cisco, which reported revenue of $13.592 billion and net income of $2.773 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, $23.5 million worth of equipment and $67 million in various assets are relatively negligible sums of money.

Bro, I unker new to this forum also learn 1 thing very soon, that is everytime when pro-ccp open tered that has name "China" it will conpirn more than 3 pages. Why? because pro-China tered attract more amdk to comment than pro-Murica tered, they promote China more than pro-CCP themselves like macam their fulltime like that. Dont ask me why like that unker also dont know.

Unker old already not very good with memory but for now everytime anything related to China i can remember 5 names sure appear. One start with big "R" kuat plotek murika and kuat anti CCP, one start with  "D" reeks of 1450 water army, one start with "H" that always use    emoji but plug facts from jamban, one start with small "r" that terpaling bontot sakit eveytime "China Good" tered and lastly the one that you're arguing start with "l".

No to prepare a list to name shame them like the wumao list tbh because everyone can already remember all of them at this point.

Wait till you see China make a move on Taiwan. And buy over Trump to look the other way.

You will say, what is the difference between China and Taiwan. Take over lah.

The inner Wumao in you will speak.

Of course gov endorsed, those scam boss all ccp political representative. Search wan kuok kui and she zhi Jiang.

Microsoft's global outage created havoc. From airline to broadcasting, the blue screen error, in a way, brought the daily operations to a standstill on Friday. Now, it has been reported that China remained largely unaffected by the outage.

As per a report by South China Post, the country's airline and banking sectors weren't hit due to the tech glitch. 

Citing the reason, the report added China doesn't rely on outside infrastructure to support its daily operations.

As per news agency AFP, the operations at airports in Beijing were not affected due to the glitch, stated Chinese state media.

Meanwhile, a woman, who works for a foreign company in Shanghai, said that people at her office complained about the blue screen error, the report added. She also highlight the error message on her screen read, “Recovery. It looks like Windows didn't load correctly.”

Social media reacts

People, in China, also stated that they were facing issues exploring some of the international hotels, the report mentioned.

Xiaohongshu, an Instagram-like Chinese social media platform, was filled with messages from uses complaining about the glitch.

Microsoft Outage: what happened?

A software update rolled out by  CrowdStrike, a US-based cybersecurity firm, led to the disruption of workflow across the globe. The update was meant to make CrowdStrike clients' systems more secure against hacking by updating the threats it defends against.

But due to a glitch in the update, the IT systems faced Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error which caused the system to suddenly shut down or restart.

-While businesses in the U.S. and Europe woke up Friday to a global IT outage that disrupted airports and hotels, China went into its weekend largely unaffected.

-“The impact of Friday’s CrowdStrike incident on China was very small, with almost no impact on domestic public life,” Gao Feng, senior research director at Gartner, said in Chinese, translated by CNBC. “Only some foreign companies in China were affected.”
   
-“This is partly because many of the security threats that CrowdStrike is designed to protect against originate from China,” said Rich Bishop, CEO of AppInChina, which publishes international software in China.

20 July 2024
While most of the world was grappling with the blue screen of death on Friday, one country that managed to escape largely unscathed was China.

The reason is actually quite simple: CrowdStrike is hardly used there.

Very few organisations will buy software from an American firm that, in the past, has been vocal about the cyber-security threat posed by Beijing.

Additionally, China is not as reliant on Microsoft as the rest of the world. Domestic companies such as Alibaba, Tencent and Huawei are the dominant cloud providers.

So reports of outages in China, when they did come, were mainly at foreign firms or organisations. On Chinese social media sites, for example, some users complained they were not able to check into international chain hotels such as Sheraton, Marriott and Hyatt in Chinese cities. ...
