  2. While this video was sitting in Early Access, news came out that the Nissan and Honda merger talks are frozen and the merger is potentially canceled. Just FYI note.

  3. I wanted to do a video on Philips' decline for a long time. Now the story has been so well done that I feel I can't ever make a video on it. Great work

  13. I’d like to but I also want to stay sane.
    214
  14. Long night
    212
  15. I thought about that. I figured even if Google pulled the plug, the tools and the code repos will still be around.

  16. I wrote this before the presidential election results were released.

  17. This video recently went viral for some reason. Please comment thoughtfully and respectfully. Since you are all here, I suggest watching my video about Taiwan's universal health care system: https://youtu.be/_dKa9j3wsS8 A really great thing about Taiwan that the US should emulate. I'd rather make a lot less a year but get easy, convenient universal health care. Wouldn't you? One more thing: Salary is not the end-all, be-all. Otherwise we would all be anesthesiologists in Sweden. The last thing I want viewers to think is that I hate it here or that Taiwan is a terrible place to live. It really is an amazing place. "I like this place a lot" is literally the second thing I said.
    207
  18. You're right, I don't make that characterization and if it seemed that way I misspoke. Manchu and Mongol rule were a colonization and there are a lot of parallels between itself and British India for example. I don't character that acknowledgement as an example of Han supremacy - if you acknowledge it, it doesn't make you a Hanist. Rather, my point is that feelings of Han supremacy color what you feel (and say) about the Manchu then and today. And historical revisionism of any form is something that bothers me. When starting this channel I felt lots of apathy for the Qing Dynasty conquest and the Manchu people behind it. But I've read a lot into it over the years and learned a lot more about the nuance and historical dynamics - and it has definitely caused me to rethink what I thought I knew about that era. The Ming dynasty was long outclassed and backwards, unable to govern and clearly had lost the Mandate of Heaven. The Qing managed to "crown itself" by convincing a Han and his army to back them instead of another Han - leading to a situation where a significant portion of the Qing armies were Han. So Han fighting Han. A Han named Zuo Guofan helped the Qing beat back the Taiping Rebellion and keep the Qing in power. Times were different back then - and looking at it in a simplistic manner to suit a present day narrative I believe is deeply flawed. Regardless of the past though, what should not happen is that we mistreat members of ethnic minority today based on actions their race took hundreds of years ago.
    197
  19. Any old Silicon Valley companies I should consider taking a look at?
    192
  20. I would say that I don't speak for the Party. You might have to ask them and see if you can get an answer. My core point in the video is to say that the government's written goal is to protect and favor its 55 ethnic minorities. Whether or not it actually happens, well, it wouldn't be the first time a government has not lived up to its credo.

  85. During one of the Taiwan Strait Crises (I don’t recall which), Chiang Kai-Shek was driven to a point where he threatened Mao with abandoning Kinmen. Ironically, this caused Mao to stop shelling the island. The intention however was clear - the ROC claim to the islands validates a belief that there should be one China. Giving up the islands means Taiwan governs just its own main island and splits “China” into two. Mao understood this and dialed down the tension.

  114. Glad you asked and the preceding comment did a good job of explaining as well. One way of thinking about it is to think about the United States. It had been originally inhabited by natives but they had displaced as the dominant people over time by immigrants from other countries. It is the same as with Taiwan. Taiwan had native aboriginals for tens of thousands of years - who have more in common racially with Pacific Islanders than Han Chinese. Starting in the 1600s, Han Chinese began immigrating to Taiwan Island and over time they displaced the people there. Over time they created their own culture, distinct from the mainland Chinese - much like how white Americans are different from white Europeans despite being the same race.
    41
  115. SMIC is doing better than you think. Their financial results are quite strong right now, they are doing R&D on a process near equivalent to TSMC's 7nm, and have established themselves as the leading foundry in China. The job is hard. Even if the government gave me billions of dollars and let me hire a thousand Google engineers, building another Google would be exceedingly hard.
    40
  116. I’ll add it to the list. Thanks for the suggestion.
    40
  117. I like your answer. I hope to be able to use it one day at work with my boss
    40
  118. Per the government’s philosophy it was the right move to let TSMC come to Singapore. Like I wrote in my other video, you can’t try to shield your children from competition. That’s how you end up with weird market inefficiencies and terrible import taxes.

  149. My bad. Cancel this video.
    27
  150. I’ve thought about it. Maybe someday.
    27
  151. No. I meant it as in literally Taiwan has a household registration system. It is nothing like the hukou system in China - but they both have shared origins.
    27
  152. Yeeeeehaaaaaw!
    27
  153. I do have conversations with industry professionals on occasion, but mostly on background. They mostly ask not to be quoted.
    26
  154. Thanks for pointing it out. It's my bad. If I do more Europe videos, hopefully I get better at this stuff.
    26
  155. I had wanted to do a video on the Hukou system for so long. Its existence today as a restriction on internal migration stems from the Maoist years, so those aspects aren’t reflected in Taiwan. For Taiwanese you most hear about household registration in the context of voting. You go home to where you’re registered to vote. As for China, these new hukou reforms will basically end the majority of the Maoist restrictions on migration. Assuming they get implemented. It also made my video irrelevant.
    26
  156. Yes. I don’t think that’s changing.
    26
  157. Depends on how much I want to get yelled at on a particular week.

  164. Sorry I don’t have any plans to talk on this.
    25
  165. Yeah, I should have mentioned it. But the video was already stretching long. I will perhaps give Mostek its own video one day.
    25
  166. It is a fascinating thing indeed and something that I want to study a lot on this channel. Not just in semiconductors but also other industries like automobiles
    24
  167. If people watch then I'll keep making them!

  169. The Nationalists frankly weren’t ready to do that. They did very well get their butts kicked - and Truman had basically written them off. They suffered from corruption, incompetence and had ruined their relationship with the people. China in the 50s was over the moon with the Party.
    24
  170. Why does it matter?

  173. I heard they removed it from the app stores. It’s not a block at a networking level like with the Firewall.
    23
  174. There are real environmental and financial reasons why fabrication moved out of the US. These are real economic trends pushing people away from manufacturing, and I think it would take government incentives to change that.
    22
  175. It never is. Think I made that pretty clear

  180. I did a follow up video that looks at some of the big storms that have hit the dam in 2016 and 2020. But it looks like the dam has stopped potential floods that would have been as bad as 1998.
    22
  181. I didn’t mean to imply a link to Confucianism here when I mentioned it. Just wanted a cool descriptor
    22
  182. Good idea. I'll take a look at it.
    22
  183. I think I had a glass of wine first before starting on this one.
    22
  184. My understanding is that there’s a few really really smart Taiwanese TSMC people and they’re paid like NBA stars. It would be hard for any company even Intel to pay enough to steal them. But the fact that it isn’t doing too much for them I think double illustrates the main issue. You can’t make it faster to give birth to a baby by hiring nine women. It’s an issue beyond just human capital and financial capital.

    21
  188. Coming next week.
    21
  189. Hm, for a long time I've been working on a history of Taiwan's democracy and how the KMT lost its grip on power as the Leninist vanguard party. A critical leverage point for the DPP's rise to prominence was the fact that those same village-level local seats were open to democratic elections. The officials who won those elections became the wedge that pried the door open to full democracy. Based on what you wrote about village-level elections, if I was a high ranking Chinese Communist Party member then I would probably have heard of this interpretation and thought better of the Wukan experiment.
    21
  190. Good catch, my friend. I checked again and I believe it was an initial order.
    21
  191. This is noted but human use is also substantial. Let’s not only blame the animal farmers

  199. I’ll add it to the list. Might be interesting
    20
  200. Glad you like them. My mother considers them the most boring videos I put on the channel.
    20
  201. I did this video while traveling. My bad.
    19
  202. I think it's important that an engineer stay up to date with new technologies. To me, that's not circumventing ageism. That's competency. Would you want someone building your bridge with things they learned in the 1970s?
    19
  203. It’s like the Conch in Lord of the Flies
    19
  204. It’s provided from Malaysia. It’s a national security interest for them too.

  206. Thanks. That won’t ever change!
    18
  207. Easterners have been just as war mongering with the Taiping Rebellion, the two Sino-Japanese Wars, Sino-Vietnamese War, Cultural Revolution, Korean War and others. I feel it would be a mistake to attribute violence to east or west
    18
  208. I frequent the Singapore subreddit. It does seem that most locals don’t think very highly of these people.
    18
  209. Certainly more modern than phone lines! Haha
    18
  210. I reckon it's cus Intel has been doing it their way for years now. TSMC needs to do it their own way. The two ways are not the same.
    18
  211. I’ve done a little on the subject but the videos haven’t really done well
    18
  212. Luckily I’m not local.
    18
  213. The significance of the effort has always been to revitalize the city’s East German semiconductor heritage. No mention of Poland was in the documents.
    18
  214. After watching this video, check out another video on the "Sun Cable" Megaproject, aiming to pipe solar power from Australia to all the way to Singapore via undersea high voltage cables: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZBaDle5NbU
    17
  215. Lol
    17
  216. Their reasoning is that even a little bit of dirty blood can’t pollute the Pacific Ocean.
    17
  217. Thx. I'll look into this and see if a clarification is needed
    17
  218. More of a tongue in cheek reference. Han Guo-yu was the 2020 KMT winner - and his name in Chinese is a homonym for Korean Fish.

  226. I fondly remember my father taking me to his office at National Semiconductor back when I was a child. I loved that campus.
    17
  227. I am a bit more optimistic. I feel that the average Chinese person has so much ground to make in order to "catch up" with the rest of the world that it will drive economic growth for many years to come. Even right now, China's growth is doing very well in comparison with the rest of the world. Of course there are challenges especially when it comes to debt and what not, but China is great at scaling its advantages and leveraging them to its benefit. I don't think the West and the rest should sit back and wait for China to stagnate. They should push ahead and continue to innovate.
    16
  228. I did a video on the Chinese solar industry a while back. Worth checking out
    16
  229. I keep deer. It’s in my profile picture ... just kidding. I love cats but I am sadly allergic
    16
  230. Yeah I’ll take a look at it. Sounds interesting. Thanks for the suggestion
    16
  231. We don’t know for certain. The estimate is something like 15-20% of total revenue.
    16
  232. No First Use came after the Sino Soviet split and way after the Taiwan Strait crisis, when Mao made those comments. Thanks for the comment
    16
  233. There is a video coming about Norsk Data.
    16
  234. Yeah it seems to be on the rocks but never know. I didn’t even touch on the weird relationship between Arm and Arm China
    16
  235. It’s a callback to Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
    16
  236. Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
    16
  237. I think it’s more important that they invest in drones, missiles and other asymmetric weapons first.

  242. I don’t see the CCP being replaced anytime soon. It has its warts of course and most Chinese people will acknowledge that but I suspect if we were to do honest polls we would find it to be quite popular and reasonably competent.
    16
  243. I have a forthcoming video on this. Generally yes we can say the PLA didn’t perform up to snuff. But then again the CCP sees war as a form of politics and if the PLA did its job then how many men died doesn’t really matter.
    15
  244. I want to visit someday. I must have practiced saying that name 50 times!
    15
  245. Because a cow on the farm helps you plow the fields. It was like eating some of the tools that helped you make your living.
    15
  246. If by SC you mean immersion, I’ll say it still matters.
    15
  247. I'll get to it I hope someday.
    15
  248. There’s a guy who commented in my other video that there’s no Han people in Thailand. You two should meet up.

  251. Dylan Patel would be far better for that than me
    15
  252. Now that's a thesis! Thank you for your time and consideration in this thorough answer.
    15
  253. It’s a famous transaction. 10 companies bid for the contract and RCA won. I want to do a video on it but I feel like I can’t finish it without getting the US political perspective on the transaction. Can’t find any comment from US politicians at the time, so the script sits unfinished.
    15
  254. There’s also the theory he wasn’t on the plane at all. Some Mongolian officials couldn’t identify his body in the crash remains.
    15
  255. Semiconductor industry big, lah. I’m just one guy, lah.
    15
  256. The author indeed uses that book as a reference and highly recommends it. This author does not use Trevor Noah’s book for any other purpose in the video other than to mention it as an inspiration for the origin of this video.
    15
  257. This is my fault. I read it and swore I added it but must not have.
    14
  258. Thanks for your kind words. Not to bore anyone with a long winded lecture about my work process, but generally I use a lot of Google, university libraries, and email. Whenever I do a video, I want to bring to the table something that’s better and more informative than the English language Wikipedia page. If I can’t, then I won’t do the video.
    14
  259. The story of RISC-V is still developing. I feel I wouldn't have much to say here.
    14
  260. Would love to profile those companies. More ideas than time, sadly.
    14
  261. Air India? Interesting idea. I’ll look into it.
    14
  262. Crypto GPU prices and supply ... who knows. Whole new set of dynamics. I am neither a journalist nor a student. My day job is entirely different from what I do here. And that’s good because it helps blow off stress
    14
  263. Bruh.
    14
  264. It was likely he wasn’t much coherent at the time as he suffered from final stage Parkinson’s or ALS or whatever he had. But he has said of Chiang prior: “Mao regarded Chiang Kai-shek as his lifelong enemy but gave him credit for a strong sense of nationalism, not subservient to the United States” Excerpt From The Private Life of Chairman Mao
    14
  265. I didn’t find anything on his thinking but I feel the script is pretty clear that the Nationalists were in a bad way.
    14
  266. I’d love to do a video on the corruption and cost cutting of the dam construction. Got any sources?
    14
  267. Thanks for watching. I don’t have a view on world politics. I just make videos about stuff I’m interested in.
    14
  268. I uploaded them all at once and YouTube sucks. Sigh.
    14
  269. I was aware of it and tried to stuff it into the video but couldn’t make it work. But yes
    14
  270. As the video explains, cartels aren’t the reason why diamonds are expensive today because there’s no more cartel.
    14
  271. It’s a good idea and I am starting to see this company around in my research. I’ll file it away for a future idea.
    13
  272. Yeah though I didn’t go into them here. There’s a big reason in that they wanted to draw China away from the Soviets, they’re a huge nation that’s disconnected from the rest of the world at that time, and a potential market.
    13
  273. TSMC, it seems.
    13
  274. Why would a country give up financial sovereignty of their currency to a foreign power without having some influence over policy?
    13
  275. It’s a start. If the video does well then there’ll be more.
    13
  276. Yeah that's a good point.
    13
  277. Hope you enjoyed the video. If you like what this channel does, please subscribe. Got a topic suggestion? Let me know about it
    13
  278. He seemed like a good guy.
    13
  279. Best Asianometry Video. Ever.
    13
  280. No. This is a legit huge factory.
    13
  281. Getting to hear from and interact with like-minded people like yourself helps keep me going. Thanks for watching
    13
  282. He did the best he could and I think I make that clear in the video. My personal favorite however is his son.
    13
  283. I worked in San Francisco for 8 years before moving to Taiwan. It’s definitely an ambitious place. I learned a lot there about how to run companies, manage people and execute on ideas. Got tired of living in a tiny box though haha
    13
  284. I also want to add. If the Imperial system worked so well then how did the British and European powers crack open the Qing Dynasty so easily? The Imperial system caused chaos and pain without advancing society. Millions of Chinese died fighting for factions and warlords so that they can be crowned emperor. 20 million died in the Taiping Rebellion - Chinese versus Chinese. Were those Chinese part of the family?
    13
  285. Yeah, I hear you. That’s some bizarreness there. I think the thing most eugenicists tend to forget is that they’re usually not the ones choosing the rules. I don’t necessarily believe the Singaporean policy is eugenics. And for any rate it is clearly not working.
    13
  286. No sorry I don’t do any podcasts. I’ve thought about it though.
    13
  287. It’s a beautiful site.
    13
  288. They don’t.

    13
  290. If only I could do more.
    13
  291. Not allowed to say.
    13
  292. Great idea.
    13
  293. As with everything in genetics, such studies have been debated. I would probably defer to the archaeology and linguistics over the genetic studies at this point in time.
    13
  294. I did mention it as an issue but not any actions taken to fix it. Yeah it’s an issue
    13
  295. Right. If you wanna be more specific when I say the USA, then I’d say something like “five coastal cities and Austin”.
    13
  296. It’s for a different video (one I probably won’t make because this isn’t an America focused channel) but I feel the political divide is more complicated than just economics. Adjusted for PPP, incomes of the worst performing states are in the same neighborhood as the top European countries. If I were to better characterize what’s happening in the states, I’d call it more a cultural divide. Some of Trump’s top supporters are financially well off but regardless feel an immense fear of the changes going on in their country.
    13
  297. There’s some truth in both sides here. The country is going through a pretty brutal recession and it’s left a lot of people worried about their place. With that being said, the success of the Singapore system is quite clear. And to try to turn away immigrants (of which I was nearly one) would be a mark of not having faith in Singapore. I personally have more faith in Singapore than those types.
    13

    12
  299. Cross compiler? Never heard of it
    12
  300. I’ll have a video later about this but in general it takes 2-3 years.
    12
  301. This is why I don't do videos about audio products. I clearly don't know anything about sound.
    12
  302. Thanks for watching and sharing your story. I want to spend some time writing about the Taiwanese diaspora someday too.
    12
  303. Software and chip design for one.
    12
  304. I agree with you on this too. The collapse of dams and especially this one is overstated and barring some failure of government won’t happen. But it will take a lot of maintenance and management in the coming years and that should be a lesson for governments thinking that big dams are silver bullets.
    12
  305. It's coming next week.
    12
  306. Some words just elude me. That’s one of them

    12
  308. I think part of the message of my video is that the idea that China being a singular country with a single ethnicity is more of a belief than an established fact. There’s a lot of differences between peoples and populations of different provinces - each of which have had the same enclave like effect as you’d say is in Europe. Politically the CCP is incentivized to make clear the ethnic unity of the Chinese people. I don’t particularly find it to be true. You’d only need to look at many people of the “Han” race to kinda get a sense of what I am talking about
    12
  309. I don’t speak for western commentators just as you don’t represent the nation of China. In the end we are just two people commenting at each other on the internet. Let’s keep that in mind. Life is too short to go back and forth on something like this - and to get offended by random videos. Neither of us have convinced each other of anything.
    12
  310. My bad.
    12
  311. I know.
    12
  312. I am waiting for new developments
    12
  313. Sure there's a lot of competition, but I think the 800-pound gorilla is pretty obvious.
    12
  314. Impressive high school you went to.

    12
  316. As I say in the video, generalizations are unavoidable.
    12
  317. Thanks. I’ll think about it. Always want to make the videos cooler.
    12
  318. Hmm I don’t think it would have ever been possible. I did a few videos about it a long time ago but it just didn’t make sense. I can’t even say it is a CCP thing too. Even Chiang Kai-shek was aggressively pushing to get Hong Kong back.
    12
  319. Thanks for the kind words. I’m not a big channel so I appreciate them.
    12
  320. I try my best.
    12
  321. I might do one for the Soviet Union.
    12
  322. It is available in early access and will be released in the future
    12
  323. And are you saying that my Formosan Salmon videos won’t be a hit???! I am crushed.
    11
  324. Strong Taiwan and USA relations indeed help. The USA is also aware that Taiwan does some form of trade trickery. Guess the difference is that they don’t publicize the dirty laundry. As for TSMC’s founding, I don’t think at the time anyone thought that these small tech transfer deals would turn into anything. Just a dozen engineers learning a niche tech at a second rate company? I can see why no one made a fuss
    11
  325. Thanks for sticking
    11
  326. Just a classic case of someone looking too seriously at something. To me it’s just a basic image distortion from stitching together different pics.
    11
  327. My general feeling is that CATL is going for scalability and cost effectiveness.
    11
  328. I got tired of being yelled at - just really negative stuff. It’s great to uphold this ideal of a Roman forum but I don’t get a lot of constructive criticism lately. I just get angry people telling me I suck. Feel free to set up a Discord server of your own. But thanks for the kind words.
    11
  329. My brain was fried.
    11
  330. It's a good suggestion and thank you for it. But I can't say that I will stick exclusively to chips though in the future. For instance, there's a future video about the solar industry.
    11
  331. Looks like you need to make your own videos too. I’d watch them.
    11
  332. Sounds fair.
    11
  333. You’re referring to a Digitimes or somee Taiwanese news article I believe, which is just a rumor. TSMC hasn’t said anything publicly
    11
  334. My bad. I'll fix that.
    11
  335. Yeah overall a poor outing.
    11
  336. I made this video three months ago, back then I was pretty far away from 100K. It's been sitting in Early Access for a while since then.
    11
  337. A gate isn't that useful if the horse is too big to walk through it.
    11
  338. There’s a Carl Zeiss video in early access. Will be released to the public in a few months.
    11
  339. Too many currencies. Thanks for noting. I'll edit the description.

  340. I think the heart of the dilemma is that, like Singapore has publicly mentioned but Taiwan probably subtly agrees with, any new immigration policy would probably need to take into account ways to maintain Taiwan’s Han supermajority so to be politically feasible. And the world’s biggest supply of Han people is not particularly friendly to it. But that’s just my take on the issue.

  341. We need more non-Intel electronics history. Just trying to fill a need.

  343. I mean, they’re engineers - not drug dealers.
    11
  344. Top management of Toshiba lost their jobs for that incident and two executives got arrested. I’m sure if I was the CEO of ASML, I would not consider that “fine”.
    11
  345. Thanks for the advice. I doubt this stuff will ever get generally popular. I do these just for the enjoyment. Have a good day.
    10
  346. Poor choice of words in my part. KMT indeed never had Taiwan before Japan ceded it. I was just speaking without thinking.
    10
  347. It’s possible for sure. But it doesn’t seem like Mao in general has much of a respect for CPC decorum rules. We probably have to take what he said with a grain of salt, but can you tell me more about the documents and multiple people?
    10
  348. I try to keep it human because AI voiceovers bother me too.
    10
  349. I am apt to agree with you. We haven’t forgotten about him. But he doesn’t seem to have been the type of person to appreciate the nuance hah!
    10
  350. Love engaging with intelligent readers on interesting scenarios and ideas. Thanks for commenting!
    10
  351. Sure I’ll take a look
    10
  352. I haven’t studied that one, I’ll look into it.
    10
  353. Glad you enjoyed it! I love your work too

  357. Singapore has a lot of manufacturing success. Their work in value added petroleum products for example. I think it’s a simplification to say they’re just doing financial work.
    10
  358. I spoke about the water issue here: https://youtu.be/Dq04GpzRZ0g
    10
  359. It says more about how hard the work is rather than reflecting badly on the government.
    10
  360. Sounds more like Amazon than communism, don’t you think?
    10
  361. I’m not changing the name.
    10
  362. Leading edge process work. Thanks for your kind words
    10
  363. There are a lot of universities here, that's true. I can't speak to whether or not the quality of the education is strong. But there is definitely a credential effect where if you graduate from a good reputation university, you're likely to get a good job. Very much like with the US as well.
    10
  364. I am struck by what you said about overseas Taiwanese. It always did seem to me that for many young Taiwanese Americans, they essentially default to a broader Han Chinese identity, assuming it and that of the mainland are the same.
    10
  365. You appear to have misunderstood what I wrote and then got caught up on a tangent. My comment was in response to a question about an American company poaching TSMC employees. You seem to have then interpreted me to say that Chinese people can’t master semiconductors, which I didn’t say at all. I think the Taiwanese are just as competitive and have just as much perseverance as any mainlander. They also believe in hard work and perseverance and never giving up on their objectives and all the other stuff you talked about. But they also pay really well too. So let’s see what happens
    10
  366. It does strain credibility and even makes me wonder if I read things right. But the main takeaway remains the idea and the methodology rather than the numbers themselves.
    10
  367. lol you think?
    10
  368. Thirty years ago would be in the 1990s when Intel and Micron are still market leaders in semiconductors. Do you have a source for your claim?
    10
  369. Oh like verification?
    9
  370. Ok. How much?
    9
  371. I find myself caught up in a dam frenzy. So many dam ideas.
    9
  372. Enjoy the video. Like and subscribe, etc etc. For other Singapore related content, feel free to check out the Singapore playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKtxx9TnH76TS34YoUFNgTdAB1qNE4wTK

  373. As far as I can tell, their revenue is tied to their production and they can only make so much. As I wrote in my other TSMC capex video, it’s likely that TSMC bought and will buy everything it can possibly get

  375. Sometimes I wonder if that's a good thing.
    9
  376. I don’t see any evidence it was the CIA. Like I said in the video, it was likely an honest accident.
    9
  377. Yeah sure. But are you gotta sit there and take it when someone does it to you? Or are you gonna do something about it? Edit2: I saw your edit and wanted to add this bit. Not meaning to be snarky. Thanks for watching and your kind words.
    9
  378. Give me 8 years for a PhD first.
    9
  379. The particular rebellion I was speaking to refers to the second: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Turban_Rebellion_(1854%E2%80%931856)?wprov=sfti1
    9
  380. The entire investigation cost just $2-3 million. A $2.5 billion hedge fund could have definitely afforded it.
    9
  381. As far as I know, the one in thousand, one in ten thousand terminology is a flood-industry one and is calculated based on available historical data. Houses in Houston take out flood insurance policies based on the same terminology. Of course, with climate change being what it is, what can be defined as "ten thousand years" or "thousand years" is changing very rapidly. The industry is coming to grips with this, slowly.
    9
  382. I wouldn't say that I have much knowledge on money supply theory. I have heard and read about Kyle Bass and his China collapse theories - though I haven't seen the Youtube podcast you're talking about. It has been a while, but from what I read by him, his theories are centered around China's shadow debt. In response, I would probably point to the American, Japanese, and Italian debt load situations as an example that perhaps our economies can handle substantially more debt than what we have previously ever theorized possible.
    9
  383. I listened again. I definitely muffed it. It sounds like I was trying to say Tiananmen and Tainan at the same time. Ha. My bad.
    9
  384. It’s my fridge.
    9
  385. They don’t want to talk to me
    9
  386. Sorry this is an old video and I’ve discarded my notes. The Generalissimo’s Son by Taylor is one source I remember using.
    9
  387. Yeah I agree. If I were to do the video again I would include those things for sure.
    9
  388. Yeah I’ve finished that video. It’s sitting in early access right now
    9
  389. You seem to have misinterpreted my comment. Hong Kong got left behind in the electronics industry. Obviously, they have other things to rely on.
    9
  390. Make sure to sign up to the newsletter!
    9
  391. No.
    9
  392. I would love to. So many ideas. So little time …
    9
  393. Nothing new as of yet.
    9
  394. This is something that I did not have time to add, but Japan attempted to "climb the value chain" and build factories that turned the camphor into celluloid. They gave it a good go of it, a focused policy push, but the industry died out before they could be successful. It really could have jumpstarted Taiwan's industry.
    9
  395. Yeah I had thought about that as I was researching this. It’s a seductive siren song of a message. I don’t like it at all and I got a real disgusting dose of it doing this channel. Also a reason why I don’t host a Discord.
    9
  396. I don't think he's involved in that. Whatever is going on with that brouhaha seems to be the domain of Zhou Xiaochuan.
    9
  397. Thanks for the clarifications. Very insightful and shows how much more I need to learn
    9
  398. Probably pretty well known. Like the Wisconsin and Foxconn thing. Their response is probably the same as ours. What can you do? Shrugs.
    9
  399. I’d say this is off topic
    9
  400. I would love to but it would probably be really really long haha. So I have to break it down into chunks
    9
  401. Ha you managed to come across a video in Early Access. I’ll release it this week.
    9
  402. It’s a 34 minute video. Had to draw the line somewhere
    9
  403. Where's this paper?
    9
  404. I’d like to do a video about that too. Someday.
    9
  405. Interesting answer. Thanks for sharing. You know your stuff.
    9
  406. Oops.
    9
  407. Thanks for the book recommendation. The story of the pre-Han years are fascinating and I hope to write more about in the future. The link between Taiwan and the Netherlands is interesting and I hope to write more in the future about it as well.
    9
  408. Checked the pinned comment.
    9
  409. Sad. Delete the video.
    8
  410. The war brought suffering to a lot of people on both sides of the Strait. It’s a sad thing it happened.
    8
  411. Should be this one Poon, S. W. (2014). Dogs and British colonialism: The contested ban on eating dogs in colonial Hong Kong. The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History, 42(2), 308-328.
    8
  412. A fair point and one that will require more research on my own behalf in the future. With so many ways to define success, a vague throwaway comment like the one I made can definitely cause incorrect interpretations. I'll keep it in mind for future work.
    8
  413. Ha, when I made this video three months ago - I thought I would NEVER get to 100K ever.
    8
  414. I am working on it.
    8
  415. My guess is that they are overseas Chinese.
    8
  416. They’re pretty vocal, that’s for sure. I did one on the NEP. Watch that one if you haven’t already.
    8
  417. KLA, hit me up bruh!
    8
  418. His work during the Second Sino Japanese war is admirable and worth studying. Wish we had more sources from that time period.
    8
  419. It’s because it’s in Early Access. It will get released in a month or two.
    8
  420. I looked it up. I think I prefer my pronunciation. Who says I can’t use it?
    8
  421. I don't think they will do that.
    8
  422. Well then you wouldn’t watch the whole video
    8
  423. I beg the forgiveness of the English gods.
    8
  424. I have a video about the Soviet Union that’s sitting in Early Access. Consider the Patreon!
    8
  425. I am writing up a script right now on Singapore’s population policies with regards to immigration and birth rate. While it doesn’t touch on Taiwan’s policies, I think it would be of interest for what you mentioned. I would be interested to see if Taiwan would craft US/Australia-like immigration policies. I have no doubt that they would do a lot for the country’s economy - but at the same time I do think the nativist blowback would be tough to control.
    8
  426. Sad.
    8
  427. I loved Eindhoven. I was sitting in the local Starbucks and writing throughout my time there and just people-watching.
    8
  428. You’re probably more referring to his actions near the end of the Revolution. He like Deng and many others supported the Revolution at its start, before it spiraled out of control.
    8
  429. Might want to check out the Tsinghua Unigroup video that I did a few months back. Spreadtrum and Unisoc are mentioned there.
    8
  430. “It gets the people going”
    8
  431. It may take a few billion dollars to get started.
    8
  432. It’s always dangerous to go into any conflict assuming it will be short. We should consider the difficulties of transporting thousands of troops across 100 miles of the Strait and also preventing other countries (such as Japan) from getting sucked in. What factors can you cite for assuming an amphibious attack - of which a scale has never succeeded before in history - can succeed in 7 days? I guess my question to you is: Has there ever been a short war of any sort in the past 50 years? And would it resolve things in a way that a political solution wouldn’t?
    8
  433. Free Britney!
    7
  434. Thanks for recommending the topic.
    7
  435. Screw the rules I have green hair!
    7
  436. Would love to.
    7
  437. Who says I don’t google the pronunciations?
    7
  438. I was thinking of a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with a MediaTek MT6797 Helio X20 chipset released in 2016.
    7
  439. Thanks for your kind words.
    7
  440. Tim Culpan of Bloomberg does a great job too. Worth checking out.
    7
  441. I’ll start on it
    7
  442. A beautiful game indeed!
    7
  443. Haha, no I am not. Just a funny coincidence.
    7
  444. I don't see this as moving the needle at all.
    7
  445. My voice hasn't been well lately. Sorry if it sounds a little strained.
    7
  446. I liked it too and would recommend people to watch it. Just gotta let them know what to expect.
    7
  447. I’ll have to think about it. History videos are always really really hard and time consuming to make - but at the same time they don’t get the same amount of exposure as the time put into them ought to put out - if that makes sense. But I’ll see what I can do.
    7
  448. Sometimes you just gotta have fun with it. Especially when you're making so many videos each week.
    7
  449. Big gun goes brr
    7
  450. Ah good point I’ll fix it.
    7
  451. I USE A SHURE MICROPHONE
    7
  452. It would be out of my wheelhouse but I can take a look. Thanks for the suggestion.

  456. I’ve done a few videos on them already. Go check them out!
    7
  457. That’s an interesting idea you got. But as recorded in Chinese history, about roughly half of the past 5,000 years have seen China in some way divided including the Three Kingdoms period, the Five Dynasties, and the Chinese Republican period. One can also argue that the way China is meant to be is divided. Would your definition of same culture and ethnic common beliefs include minority races like the She and the Hui? Or minority cultures like the Hakka?
    7
  458. That’s the big question right? Every VC and government official is pushing some new thing like quantum tech or high speed rail or fusion technology. I frankly don’t know - as for the government it seems to be they’re focusing on re-shoring their current industries
    7
  459. It’s on the list. Thanks for watching
    7
  460. How did you know? I started it like 9 months ago and can’t finish it. It would be a 35 min video
    7
  461. Ok.
    7
  462. Seems to be because their women needed to work in wet fields.
    7
  463. They won’t.
    7
  464. I live in Asia, yes. Thanks for watching!
    7
  465. I did a video on Thailand's hard drive industry before and I have another one on their auto industry coming up soon. Keep an eye out
    7
  466. At the end of the video, I explain that the study was funded by a China-focused hedge fund in Shanghai. Did you finish the video?
    7
  467. I think it’s pretty clear that the hedge fund was incentivized to do this analysis because it could stand to make millions and perhaps hundreds of millions on a well timed short. It is the clearest answer to me. And I don’t think there’s anything fishy about not wanting their name plastered on the news as being an investigatory fund. Such people can get into trouble in China.
    7
  468. Yeah. I’d love to do a video about it someday.
    7
  469. Facts: You are using "facts" wrong.
    7
  470. Just a curious question that is kind of in line with this. Suppose a Chinese company tries to make an economically rich offer on Atlassian, do you feel the Australian government will allow it?
    7
  471. You may need to consult with a doctor for this condition.
    7
  472. Demographic trends are a weird thing. They matter and they don’t. Japan is ahead of Taiwan in terms of population aging but their economy is still third largest in the world. I think Taiwan will adapt. I don’t have a comment in terms of what it means for TSMC.
    7
  473. The metrology and testing people have been taking up the pitchforks and coming at me recently. I will get to it eventually!
    7
  474. Good idea. I can take a look
    7
  475. Seems to be an editing issue. The Sino Soviet split caused the Soviet team to have to leave China in 1960.
    7
  476. Fair enough and I did hat tip that at the end. But my main point was talking about control from private entities. Not those of the state.
    7
  477. Remember to subscribe to the newsletter!
    7
  478. I'm minting some Asianometry deer NFTs soon. 😜 (Just kidding of course)
    7
  479. I might look into Rogernomics
    7
  480. And he wasn’t. It was Weimar, the place.
    7
  481. I’d love to visit one day
    6
  482. That’s a good idea. I’ll take a look at it. I got a whole lot more videos coming up on the topic. Excited to share them.
    6
  483. Recording from a new location that time. Did it sound suckier than usual?
    6
  484. Total payout. Not to each.
    6
  485. Things have been rather stressful at work, lately.
    6
  486. I suppose one can say that it’s a fortunate coincidence.
    6
  487. I’m not a stock market analyst, so I wouldn’t be able to answer that for you.
    6
  488. I've already made one for Early Access Patrons. It will be released in the coming weeks.
    6
  489. In that scenario, at least Taiwanese will be the richest people in the world!
    6
  490. Yeah I have definitely thought about making a video for this. It’s probably coming
    6
  491. Ah yeah them too and SEMATECH. Late night writing this
    6
  492. I beg the question.
    6
  493. Great insights. Thanks for adding them.
    6
  494. Just trying new stuff. Don’t think it’ll stick. Syncing it to audio was a disaster.
    6
  495. So long as people pay for better electronics
    6
  496. I am a deer, so Chinese is hard for me. No lips.
    6
  497. “Enuff”
    6
  498. I probably wouldn’t. But that’s just my own personal preference.
    6
  499. The majority of Singapore's LNG, which makes up a minority of its total natural gas imports, comes from Qatar, Equatorial Guinea, and Australia. Not the United States.
    6
  500. International submarine cables are already a thing. Google "submarine cables map".
    6
  501. I haven’t really done all that much reading yet on the Stalin-era alliance between China and the Soviets but I am pretty fascinated by the Split itself. I hope to get something out on it in the future.
    6
  502. I think about that too. The retention graph metrics have done a whole lot to change the way I make and view content.
    6
  503. Perhaps it’s like Disney’s version of generating nostalgia. Bringing back the good old days when everyone was suffering together equally.
    6
  504. That would be harder to do since I am living in Taiwan, not India.
    6
  505. Nah it’s the literal name of the party itself - as since it was founded at the start as a cadet branch of the larger JCP rather than as a CCP branch or an independent party at the start. That would change later but that’s for part 2. Good catch. I felt maybe it would be difficult and unnecessary to explain on the side so didn’t speak to it.
    6
  506. I’ll have to look into it. I haven’t heard much of it yet.
    6
  507. Give me a few ideas
    6
  508. Blew your mind right? Boom.
    6
  509. It’s cool to be called a popular channel. Thanks
    6
  510. Here you go: Fan, Joshua. "China's Homeless Generation: Voices from the Veterans of the Chinese Civil War, 1940s-1990s." (2011).
    6
  511. Yeah it would be. Temasek is a large backer in Avago/Broadcom. Boeing can be called state backed because of its substantial reliance on revenue from the government. There’s a range in all terms and I think maybe I could have used “state-founded” to be more precise, but it’s not like the term is totally wrong.
    6
  512. Ah good point. I’ll change the CCP flag to the PLA flag.
    6
  513. I will
    6
  514. I haven't seen this movie before, but it's on Netflix here so I'll check it out and maybe put some thoughts in the newsletter version of this video. Thanks for the recommendation.
    6
  515. Try this Wikipedia page, which I admit is rather sparse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanto_Shichi_Daiji
    6
  516. I think my video about how ASML builds an EUV machine might help with that.
    6
  517. It is a pretty fascinating topic. I can add it to the list.
    6
  518. The Chinese overseas diaspora is interesting but I don’t have anything to add right now about it. The video by Wendover Productions about the Hong Kong handover is nice though.
    6
  519. I am surprised that we are all so surprised by the news. There is probably a 5 nanometer class chip in the works in a Huawei lab somewhere.
    6
  520. I have a video about this soon to come out later
    6
  521. There’s a well documented history of hedge funds funding and publicizing fraud investigations like these on high flying stocks. I don’t see a history of Starbucks doing hit jobs on their clients. One could argue that they’re excellent conspiracists and so on and there’s literally no way we could find out. But then we would be in deep state conspiracy theory territory. There can be nothing that I can say or cite or read or show to you that would convince you otherwise that Starbucks didn’t do it.
    6
  522. Nah. My day job is entirely unrelated to what I do here.
    6
  523. I have been writing a lot lately - so I hope to get a faster pace after being quiet for so long.
    6
  524. Can’t do math, dammit. About siestas I can ask some people I know who work there and find out
    6
  525. Seems like that’s right but it’s not mandatory. Not everyone does it.
    6
  526. I’ll have to get into that more later - as it’s beyond the scope of the video - but many of these people first came as part of colonization efforts by European powers like the Dutch. So it was not like they just got on boats and came over. And the actual Taiwanese aboriginals were quite fierce so they didn’t have the island to themselves.
    6
  527. Thanks for the kind words. I hope to write about that in the future too.
    6
  528. I feel like I made it pretty clear that Intel fell out of DRAM pretty fast. But please send me an email and I would love to chat with you.
    6
  529. Got it. Done.
    6
  530. In general I have found content on South Korea to have done pretty poorly. Like this one. Perhaps if more people watched it ...
    6
  531. Considering America’s debt condition I think China’s debt breaking point is farther away than we think.
    6
  532. The fact is that state was and still remains a shareholder. I already spoke on this in the other thread.
    6
  533. It’s so interesting the comments under this video. Half of them are yelling at me saying the same thing as you. The other half are yelling at me saying the exact opposite.
    6
  534. Never too early to learn. Lots of Americans know nothing about their country too. Thanks for watching!
    6
  535. I mean, nothing’s impossible. I have full confidence the smart people working there can do it. I think the question’s more if they want to be on the cutting edge. If China gets to a certain place like 28nm and the Biden administration warms up relations then I don’t think it’s necessary to go to 5nm.
    5
  536. Runaway, I am sorry.
    5
  537. Yeah I’m planning to.
    5
  538. Formosa Plastics is indeed large but if you look at the rankings table on Wikipedia, you can see that they’re the only Taiwanese company in the whole table. There’s prestige value, but for the purposes of policy and industry it’s hard to argue that one company’s success = industry-wide success.
    5
  539. Many of these distinct dialects are dying out as people transition to standard northern mandarin. It’s quite sad.
    5
  540. I don’t think anything is off the table. But Apple has never bought anything bigger than Beats headphones in the “Tim Apple” era and I think that was for less than $5 billion. I do think there’s an interesting question as to why the UK government let ARM get bought by Softbank in the first place. Perhaps times were different back then. British-Japanese relations are quite good so perhaps it has to do with it. But at the same time, Manchester United is owned by a Floridian family so who knows if they value economic nationalism in the same way Americans, Europeans and the Chinese do.
    5
  541. Yeah I get it, they're baaahd
    5
  542. 🤔 late 1970s?
    5
  543. Let me know what they find. Today in Taiwan, there’s a bit of awkwardness amongst people when you try to dig into their roots to find whether or not they’re children of waishengren.
    5
  544. This happened before Taiwan’s democracy, Chad.
    5
  545. That’s a good angle. I’ll take look at it!
    5
  546. There are some that don’t use the VIE structure but the reality is that in the case of liquidation or war, foreign investors are probably going to get stuffed regardless.
    5
  547. Within the Taisang, the Taiwanese businessmen class there is known to be a special group of those who directly interact with and are consulted by the Party. I don’t know much more than that sadly.
    5
  548. Thanks for the kind words and for watching. Anything you’d like to see me touch on?
    5
  549. Those guys don’t do lithography
    5
  550. Looks like you're right here. Totally not sure where I read that. Going to edit the video description. Thanks for bringing this up
    5
  551. I recognize some people listen. But it’s nice to watch the visuals too
    5
  552. It’s a good idea and hopefully I can get to it. I’ll add it to the list. Thanks for the suggestion.
    5
  553. Let's "liberate" your civility and be kinder here.
    5
  554. I’d point to Singapore as a way to adjust to such issues.
    5
  555. I can add it to the list. Thanks for the recommendation.
    5
  556. MOSIS and TSMC aren’t related. Just spiritually connected
    5
  557. I have this in early access
    5
  558. I’d love to someday.
    5
  559. It’s a 16 minute video. Something’s gotta give.
    5
  560. It’s not easy to speak English and then suddenly code switch to Chinese.
    5
  561. Thank you for your kind words. I live in Taipei but spend a lot of time in Tainan as well.
    5
  562. Correct, the former.
    5
  563. Thanks for this. It doesn’t help that my Chinese pronunciation is atrocious
    5
  564. So do I. Let’s settle this with rock-paper-scissors
    5
  565. No, sadly. I did take a look while making the video but couldn’t find anything
    5
  566. I don’t really find that story credible
    5
  567. Think I would be able to, yeah.
    5
  568. For almost any country, creating culture exports requires some form of government support and coordinated policy. I think for the most part, the Taiwanese government seems to have decided that it is not their priority to do this. It's understandable, I suppose. Perhaps things will change as the contemporary art scene develops, some good names get mainstream, and more.
    5
  569. 🤔🤔
    5
  570. Sad.
    5
  571. Tongue in cheek.
    5
  572. A lot of the East Asian tigers explicitly describe their early economic policies as being "import substitution" types. It's a first step.
    5
  573. Myopia does have knock-on effects later in life including worsening eyesight and possible retinal detachment.
    5
  574. It’s taught in US history textbooks regarding the Korean War.
    5
  575. Ugh you’re right. My error. I need to get back to my regular mike.
    5
  576. Meow.
    5
  577. Think searches for “dentist in my area”
    5
  578. And let me ask further. Why should people care about the 1956 riots? Because it led to a settlement village? C’mon.
    5
  579. Makes a lot of sense. Perhaps some other form of reciprocity can be found elsewhere. Maybe a fab in Europe.
    5
  580. The latter. Consoles in China aren’t really a market.
    5
  581. I will think about it. Let's see
    5
  582. I wouldn’t rule it out for sure
    5
  583. That’s a great idea. I will! Thanks for the suggestion.
    5
  584. You still watched, right?
    5
  585. I haven’t heard of this specifically before but doing research of Macau I learned a lot about the ROC’s work reclaiming foreign concessions granted by the Qing. That’s super interesting and I’ll make a video of it. Thanks for suggesting!
    5
  586. Doing better than absolute stagnation shouldn't earn you the Mandate of Heaven, I would think.
    5
  587. Would have liked to but the video was already getting long. Super interested in doing a video on the Ming someday in the future.
    5
  588. Appealing to the youths
    5
  589. It’s me trying new things. Let’s see how it goes
    5
  590. Thanks for coming with me on this journey!
    5
  591. Wut
    5
  592. I remember seeing you around! Thanks for watching and being a subscriber
    5
  593. K-pop is funded by an old chaebol. No new chaebols are being made here.
    4
  594. Thanks. Appreciate your kind words and for watching!
    4
  595. Ok thanks I’ll do that
    4
  596. Thanks, dude.
    4
  597. I am sorry for your loss. Thanks for watching and for sharing.
    4
  598. Tough feedback. Nobody's perfect, and I always can appreciate thoughtful fact-checking. Would you want to help me out when I do future videos in this topic? If so, feel free to email me at jon@asianometry.com
    4
  599. Yes.
    4
  600. The Chinese Communist Party sees China as an union of all people of many races. It believes in the representation of China’s ethnic minorities.
    4
  601. Right, income is not the same as wealth
    4
  602. Not sure. Lots of people going to give me grief that Ireland's not in Asia.
    4
  603. Never say "totally"
    4
  604. I just released a video last night to Early Access about Tokyo Electron. Check that out too if you can
    4
  605. It would be a tough video to make. But I guess I can see what I can do about it.
    4
  606. It’s a tragedy ... and it affects the people around you too.
    4
  607. That would be interesting. I’ll look into it
    4
  608. SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION!!!
    4
  609. Only if you wish to get offended
    4
  610. I urge you to focus on the main point, which is how these antibiotics are being used and what for rather than defending on your own country or region does it “right”.
    4
  611. Lots of questions. My uninformed opinion is that Intel will be fine. $17 billion of annual cash flow will do that for you.
    4
  612. I don’t believe they will be the target of sanctions but who knows.
    4
  613. No it won’t be. They’ll probably make their own
    4
  614. Why would a Chinese law matter in South Korea?
    4
  615. I actually am writing a new piece on that - their patriotic education. Not sure when it’s done though. Let me know what you manage to wrangle up. And fortunately for me, I have no family in China whatsoever.
    4
  616. Well, at least you're watching.
    4
  617. Right, which is why I said greater than 7nm. 10nm and above for logic chips likely are not using EUV.
    4
  618. Lol you sound like my mom
    4
  619. It is not quite clear which numbers are you looking to see but here are the sources for the overall video: Edward, I. "Formosan political movements under Japanese colonial rule, 1914-1937." The Journal of Asian Studies (1972): 477-497. Hsiao, Frank ST, and Lawrence R. Sullivan. "A political history of the Taiwanese communist party, 1928-1931." The Journal of Asian Studies (1983): 269-289. Wang, Dewei. Taiwan under Japanese colonial rule, 1895-1945: history, culture, memory. Columbia University Press, 2006. Matsuzaki, Reo.

Bochum: Univ.-Verl.Brockmeyer
    4
  620. FT does
    4
  621. I’ll come to it eventually. But the current focus is to next go back in time to the Qing and Ming dynasties.
    4
  622. Yeah like the guy above says I don’t invest in the market. Nor am I an investing and personal finance YouTuber. If you want those channels I can recommend a few
    4
  623. Not what I said. I said "Maybe where the LLM revolution will be most Real is when it is embedded into the products we know today."
    4
  624. Man, you are right. Whenever I watch YouTube videos, I always felt a bit weird that video-makers kept doing that. Now I am on the other side and I got to do it. Sigh.
    4
  625. I’m sorry to hear that. I hope things get better for you
    4
  626. No. I started with Taiwan first and then moved to semiconductors later.
    4
  627. Corruption is corruption
    4
  628. Most people’s ancestors in China move around a lot. Practically it’s very difficult to trace people’s roots far back. It’s a consequence of Chinese people’s difficult history
    4
  629. No I don’t but maybe in the future
    4
  630. I like walking!
    4
  631. I’ll try to see what I can dig up
    4
  632. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
    4
  633. No I don’t.
    4
  634. I keep hearing about this empty homes and speculators data, but I can't find a reliable source. Just anecdotes. Do you have one?
    4
  635. I feel you’re angry about something that I thought I said and not what I actually said.
    4
  636. I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to say here.
    4
  637. Thanks for your great answer. I’ve shared it to my friends as well.
    4
  638. Ironic to hear such a critique from a dead doll
    4
  639. Yes, I said runway, not runaway. I'm sorry.
    4
  640. Missing the point. The point is to say it's a complicated thing.
    4
  641. Thanks for the info. I wasn’t familiar with this previously.
    4
  642. If it helps them stay ahead of the verification problem, then it'd be the worth the money to buy them. I've never heard of Oski before - I thought you were talking about the Berkeley bear mascot!
    4
  643. Proof I’m in Taiwan.
    4
  644. Hmm I don’t have really an opinion on the whole matter. I try not to make investment advice. But TSMC does make RISC-V chips, including a few for Alibaba’s semiconductor subsidiary.
    4
  645. Thanks for watching! Yeah with these “societal” videos, there’s always a level of subjectivity and personal experience involved and it drives me up the wall. For everyone watching the video, their experience may vary.
    4
  646. Sometimes we all got to do things we don’t want to do.
    4
  647. How old are you?
    4
  648. I couldn’t actually confirm the extent of their involvement with that. Do you have a source?
    4
  649. Thanks for watching. I haven’t done an Opium war video yet but you might be interested in the one I did about the Taiping Rebellion.
    4
  650. I love that song. It’s interesting to think about the distant connection between Taiwan and this movie.
    4
  651. We didn't expect to make money from this. Just was fun to do
    4
  652. De-industrialization is never inevitable. Manufacturers have the option of moving up the value chain, growing along with the population. I would point to Singapore & Malaysia as a counter-example.
    4
  653. Picochu
    4
  654. That hasn’t been the case at all, it seems. This video far underperformed.
    4
  655. I don’t understand how those things work. I am too old for it ha
    4
  656. I’ll take a look.
    4
  657. Am I really going to be doing this in 20 years?
    4
  658. I don’t think I said that. What I said was that Confucian societies elevate career success as a source of happiness. High pay is correlated to that, but I wouldn’t say it is the same.
    4
  659. Thanks and I love your work with Journey.
    4
  660. I am so heartbroken and sorry you feel this way
    4
  661. Thank you for watching. I hope you share more of your experiences here.
    4
  662. I made the video 3 months ago.
    3
  663. Bigger is better, when it comes to Taiwanese beef noodle soup. 👍
    3
  664. Sure that’s a good idea. Let me see what I can do!
    3
  665. You’re right that Taiwan has seen some additional economic growth, but wage growth still hasn’t kept up with the economy. Taiwanese wages have grown just 14% in the 9 years since 2012. USA on the other hand have grown 26%.
    3
  666. The same researchers’ other papers seem to indicate that China has some form of freedom of speech. You can criticize the government but you can’t call for collective action.
    3
  667. That’s right. I’ll get to that story in a future video.
    3
  668. I doubt even if you paid Google salaries people would do that.
    3
  669. I'll have something for you by next week. Stay safe.
    3
  670. I should have made it clear that it wasn’t my words. I quoted a Soviet writing here
    3
  671. More tech history related, but yes.
    3
  672. Thanks. I do plan on it someday.
    3
  673. Very interesting story. Thank you for sharing
    3
  674. HiSilicon, owned by Huawei
    3
  675. No it’s not.
    3
  676. I wrote summer cuz I don’t remember the actual month and I’m too lazy to look it up.
    3
  677. It’s a tough line to walk. I don’t want to repeat myself, but it’s important stuff.
    3
  678. I’ve heard about these efforts. Have the Australian authorities been actually doing anything about it? Or is it just a tsk tsk public shaming thing? Thus far, what I’ve heard is that Australia depends so much on China for its economic future that they can’t ever kill their golden goose.
    3
  679. Never claimed they invented it.
    3
  680. Email me a detail you want to track down and I would be glad to give you the source if I can remember where it came from!
    3
  681. My later videos don’t have music.
    3
  682. Yeah my bad.
    3
  683. I already have an ASML video and I encourage you to watch it!
    3
  684. Nailed it.
    3
  685. It's for a separate video.
    3
  686. It’s an interesting thing you’ve pointed out, where is the revenue going to come from? It is a question that I’m still thinking about too
    3
  687. I am sorry. I meant runaway.
    3
  688. I talked about it briefly in my video about Singapore's rise as a petrochemical giant. You can check it out there.
    3
  689. That’s true. So it’s real interesting to see how the ICAC changed that perception and rebuilt the people’s trust in government. I wrote about that on this channel too.
    3
  690. Script is linked in the description. Thanks for watching.
    3
  691. I have thought about that yeah.
    3
  692. My father was an analog chip designer! But alas I know nothing about this space right now.
    3
  693. It appears that some lines are profitable but others aren’t. I do believe the subsidies go to the shareholders, which includes the state. I also would like to add that a subsidy can mean many different things as well. In the form of a grant for research, for example, or as a tender for a public works project. It’s a vague category - one that gets weird in the government vendor bid world
    3
  694. You can add Nikon and Canon then alongside ASML as their competitors
    3
  695. I get your point. I'll add a note in the description about work done in Europe.
    3
  696. @Harrick Wow. That kinda hurts.
    3
  697. My bad. I am not a Hakka myself. I usually say 客家
    3
  698. I will keep them in secret.
    3
  699. No it's a map of Taipei from the Japanese occupation days.
    3
  700. Thanks for sharing. That is quite a mixing pot of a family history. Having never been to Australia myself, I actually only relatively recently found out about the large Chinese population there. Learning about their stories has been very enlightening. I don’t think you actually need to live in Taiwan or China or Hong Kong to write and vlog insightfully on the culture and history. I think what is only necessary is an open mind and good discussion. And maybe a microphone so you don’t get the same complaints I’m always getting.
    3
  701. Yeah it’s coming out next week.
    3
  702. I did. Check the archive
    3
  703. Buenos dias from Taiwan!
    3
  704. I was just kidding.
    3
  705. Send me an email please. Would love to learn how it really works.
    3
  706. I think the sentiment here is quite the opposite. Can you name for instance a few Taiwanese clothing brands off the top of your head?
    3
  707. That’s a good point. I’ve thought about that and probably wouldn’t say it as such next time.
    3
  708. National Development Fund remains a shareholder and had 48% share at founding. So yes.
    3
  709. As you pointed out, the government is the NDF and the NDF remains a shareholder. The government also supplied the technology through ITRI and ERSO at its founding, not to mention members of top management. I’m not quite sure what’s the disconnect here. The term is nothing to be offended about.
    3
  710. We will see for next time.
    3
  711. Thank you for your kind words. I hope my work helps people better understand the issues Taiwanese people think about on a daily basis.
    3
  712. My father pronounced it that way so I will honor his teachings.
    3
  713. It’s not an easy problem. I can’t think of many countries or even states within the USA which have successfully up scaled into different structures.
    3
  714. That’s not going to be the case for long.
    3
  715. Sorry I renamed it. Search for: China and North Korea Negotiate Over Heaven Lake
    3
  716. I’m playing around with it. Data shows no difference
    3
  717. I’d love to visit someday.
    3
  718. Singing as mysterious as the dark side of the moon.
    3
  719. What in particular might you think be interesting? Ive assembled some materials but nothing has really leapt out at me.
    3
  720. I only recently came across. I don’t know much about the Taiwanese diasporas and their history in Australia or other countries. I’d love to look at it someday. I’ve began gathering materials but I work slowly so it’ll take some time.
    3
  721. Sorry I disappointed you with my wording.
    3
  722. I listened and didn’t hear anything.
    3
  723. lol this again
    3
  724. Thank you sir
    3
  725. Doesn’t mean you got to sit and let it happen to you. If you ran a shop and people started taking your stuff, I bet your response wouldn’t be “Oh this happens to everyone.” If that is your actual response, well then you’re just trolling - and you should send me the address of your shop
    3
  726. Nope. This is brand new.
    3
  727. ASML
    3
  728. It’s quite true. But TSMC can spend just as much as Samsung. Last year their capital expenditures on semiconductors were about the same.
    3
  729. I have only read his nonfictional essays on China. I generally like them but he can get long winded. I most was interested in the ways he points out how socialist times in the Mao era differed from the reform times of the Deng era.
    3
  730. I was thinking about this too as I was writing it. But the paper source I drew from definitely seems to call it that in English (no Chinese was given) so I left it in there. With that being said, I don’t think it invalidates the video’s other points - which drew from multiple sources
    3
  731. Thanks for watching! I enjoyed learning about your people!
    3
  732. I’d love to once things open up again!
    3
  733. It's in the process.
    3
  734. I'm working on it.
    3
  735. I did a video about it a long time ago
    3
  736. I don't really think GDP per capita is a good measurement of Hong Kong's economic "quality"
    3
  737. Got to have something to show people
    3
  738. Getting better.
    3
  739. Don't blame them.
    3
  740. Good for you.
    3
  741. Disgusting. I thought about going into some of China Tobacco’s efforts to deal with counterfeit cigarettes but decided not to give them the advertising.
    3
  742. Deal with it
    3
  743. I’ve read that same book. It’s where I got the tidbit from. Interesting book for sure.
    3
  744. They have more than people think.
    3
  745. Seems pretty unlikely. But there’s parts of China that Korea would definitely object to like the occupation of Mt Baektu
    3
  746. Thanks for watching!
    3
  747. It probably couldn’t at the time
    3
  748. I will take a look at it
    3
  749. Ultra pure water would probably just end up being regular water if you bathed in it
    3
  750. I would be glad to try any metric you suggest. I don't think "Android" is applicable across these industries.
    3
  751. Did my best
    3
  752. Samsung and Hynix I think are certainly doing a whole lot of spend too
    3
  753. I disagree with this
    3
  754. Because I am a deer.
    3
  755. "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
    3
  756. I’ll be doing a podcast on it soon
    3
  757. Sigh.
    3
  758. Good point. This needs to be taken into consideration too.
    3
  759. Hm. I kinda do but it will be a long time coming. There’s so many other things I wanna write about first.
    3
  760. Why would you think I am a CCP outfit? I live in Taiwan, bruh.
    3
  761. Sounds like an improvement over last comment’s “pretty hard to listen to”. So I’m making progress.
    3
  762. I just pronounced his name this way in another video. You’re gonna love it
    3
  763. Oh. Hard to tell in this age of Internet. Apologies.
    3
  764. I will try to make it to Veldhoven.
    2
  765. At least you watched it then!
    2
  766. I don't think Intel is much better.
    2
  767. There’s an apostrophe in “it’s”.
    2
  768. Very Asian grandpa.
    2
  769. My bad. I'll edit that.
    2
  770. Definitely fair. I have videos highlighting a few of those successes too.
    2
  771. Thanks for your kind words. We are all just individuals in the grand scheme of things, but I do hope that we, including yourself, can find some small way to contribute to the tech community in Taiwan. There's a lot of people who can benefit.
    2
  772. Thanks for letting me know. I don't hear it but let me see if I can change up the equipment.
    2
  773. Thankssss
    2
  774. Thanks. Hope to go someday!
    2
  775. Okay.
    2
  776. Oh ok. I’m waiting.
    2
  777. I don’t remember saying that but could have. Gosh that was a really long video recording session. So tired at the end of it.
    2
  778. And so was I
    2
  779. I see it here. You don’t?
    2
  780. I mean, it’s working right now. I would call that feasible enough.
    2
  781. I wanna emphasize here, it’s what the CCP believes. Not advocating any particular narrative.
    2
  782. DRAM
    2
  783. Good feedback, I'll try to pace it better next time. Thanks
    2
  784. They never do as well as the other videos. But I enjoy making them because I got to experience them in person. And to be able to explore these small sites of interest is fun.
    2
  785. Good evening!
    2
  786. I’ve thought about it but just haven’t gotten around to it
    2
  787. Feel free to shoot me an email
    2
  788. An honor to teach the second President of the United States
    2
  789. Yeah sure I’ll take a look.
    2
  790. What is impression lithography?
    2
  791. I’ll believe it when I see it, I suppose
    2
  792. Who knows
    2
  793. Thank you for your kind words. What would you like to see more of from this channel?
    2
  794. My last video was about watches, brother.
    2
  795. You mean the whiskey right? I’m waiting for them to sponsor me first.
    2
  796. Check out the video on nuclear desalination.
    2
  797. Hi
    2
  798. Thanks for the suggestions. I do indeed run multiple takes but sometimes it gets boring just reading out a script. Occasionally I get a thought or addition I want to add so I freelance away. After all, if you just wanna read the script you can on the site right. Why bother watching the video? Thanks for watching.
    2
  799. I tried to track it down but couldn’t actually find the Chinese phrase - just the English. Quite vexing.
    2
  800. It’s actually real fascinating to me. I’m just not sure what visuals I should show while I talk DNS poisoning and machine learning keywords.
    2
  801. Yeah, which is in part why I did the video.
    2
  802. Thanks. I’m far out of college, but glad that I sound that young.
    2
  803. I’ve heard of him. Not my cup of tea.
    2
  804. Yeah I’m thinking of it. Got any angles I should explore?
    2
  805. Canon and Nikon still sell DUV machines, so I think there is a lot of incentive to keep providing the best of the best.
    2
  806. And who makes the machines that make the chips that runs the machine software that makes the chips?
    2
  807. Thank you very much!
    2
  808. I am glad that the chairman himself likes what I have been doing. Thanks!
    2
  809. Sadly that title is too long for YouTube.
    2
  810. You clearly didn't watch the video.
    2
  811. thanks for watching and the kind words. It’s one of the pleasures of the work to get to connect with people from places far from where I am. Greetings from the States! If there’s anything you’re curious about and want me to hit on, let me know.
    2
  812. Should be, hah
    2
  813. It’s already done
    2
  814. Call it self-hate.
    2
  815. It was not my intention to basically prove that.
    2
  816. Oh damn, I liked it a lot.
    2
  817. C++ you mean
    2
  818. Bizarre comment. Why not?
    2
  819. I’m curious about your first claim. Why does ASML not fall under us export restrictions?
    2
  820. Thanks for watching.
    2
  821. A chip firm that designs their chips but doesn’t manufacture them
    2
  822. If NO ONE can replace TSMC, then doesn't that mean this is a brilliant title?
    2
  823. Ha, my bad. It’s clear I’m not from Malaysia at all.
    2
  824. I hopefully can do videos for those as well. Thanks for watching
    2
  825. It’s already done. Just sitting in Early Access. It’s a really good video IMHO
    2
  826. Thanks for subscribing to it. I really appreciate it!
    2
  827. I have a few in early access and hope to come out with a lot more.
    2
  828. Thanks for your kind words. I hope you keep watching!
    2
  829. By literal definition, you’ve stated an opinion not a fact.
    2
  830. Thanks for watching! I love Singapore very much so next time I can go there I’d love to meet any of y’all.
    2
  831. I did make a video about that about a year or two ago. You can search for it in the archives.
    2
  832. Early access
    2
  833. Thanks! How were those days like
    2
  834. Yea I’m planning on it
    2
  835. That would be pretty cool
    2
  836. Based on your tip-off I lurk there now. Like the subreddit a lot!
    2
  837. Seems worth it to me.
    2
  838. That’s an interesting theory. I have no clue if maybe the Party might leverage it to start up some nationalist sentiment. But they frankly have plenty of firewood as it is.
    2
  839. Officials know that salaries are low. But macro policy is hard. Even right now I struggle to come up with ideas. It’s not as simple as mandating minimum wage raises. Low wages are also because Taiwan companies need to get more profitable so to be able to pay more. It is a problem for almost every region in the world.
    2
  840. Thanks for watching
    2
  841. Would love to, though this one isn't doing so well right now.
    2
  842. That's pretty interesting. I can take a look.
    2
  843. Best part of the movie was 2 minutes in.
    2
  844. That one is in early access.
    2
  845. The Wikipedia is a great start
    2
  846. Well, looks like I learned something about Yiddish today. Thanks for the info
    2
  847. I misspoke.
    2
  848. Thanks for the live-tweeting of your video watching experience.
    2
  849. Yes, I think Hong Kong could have. And I have visited a factory, Ryan.
    2
  850. That actually sounds really hard to fix, if you ask me.
    2
  851. Why not also ban birth control and abortion? I feel like some of these measures are not feasible even taking into account what we believe is acceptable in China.
    2
  852. I wouldn’t disagree with you that it’s a compelling incentive. But let’s say there are 18 million babies being born each year, with 2020 having just 14 million. If we want to raise that to just 20 million (which is merely returning to the number we had back in like 2005) that’s 2 million more a year so 700,000 new homes being built each year at a cost of $50-100k each unit - which I would say is charitable. That’s $35 billion a year, which is 4 times the size of China’s space budget. Just a rough estimate, but it illustrates the concept’s difficulty.
    2
  853. I pulled this information off the Encyclopedia Britannica. As far as I know, the word Hakka used to be a pejorative dating back from the Punti clan wars. Those Punti clans people spoke Cantonese ergo the word Hakka entering the greater vocabulary. Punti as many other comments here point out, means “people of the earth” - setting up the contrast with the foreign “guest people”. As the Hakka gained greater cultural awareness of their roots; they sought to own that once-epithet by turning it into something they wear proudly on their chest
    2
  854. Yeah
    2
  855. Named after trigonometry, and I am Asian
    2
  856. I think for every country except America, it’s going to be hard to beat the pay and the opportunities in tech. So many talented Taiwanese intend from the very start to go there and to me that’s a huge miss.
    2
  857. Samsung is a very aggressive competitor - and hopefully they push each other to innovate.
    2
  858. I like shoes.
    2
  859. Thanks it’s in progress
    2
  860. Check your spam and see if it got caught in any filters maybe.
    2
  861. "Sports Illustrated" units?
    2
  862. Shoot me an email!
    2
  863. Glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  864. I don't see any evidence of this.
    2
  865. Yeah good idea.
    2
  866. Bruuuusss
    2
  867. One crypto = shortages? Uh huh.
    2
  868. Nice
    2
  869. It’s something I’ve always tried to keep out of the videos - the bias. It’s really hard to find good, reliable info on the democratization. So it’ll take some time. Thanks for watching.
    2
  870. I’d think most of them rather are complaining that the cost of pig feet are too expensive. But luckily since this video was posted, there’s a vaccine now.
    2
  871. Nope
    2
  872. No, it’s in early access
    2
  873. The next one is longer than usual so it’ll take some time to record.
    2
  874. In this video, 3 of our foundry friends try to stop me as I try to build a fab in Phoenix.
    2
  875. Thanks for the referral and your kind words. I’ve been working on a lot of really interesting new stuff so looking forward to posting those soon.
    2
  876. Hm. I think they need to get away from the couponing and discount mindset. The challenge is that they’re not alone in the market. Starbucks is doing quite well already and they have many years’ head start.
    2
  877. They are targeting different things, it seems.
    2
  878. I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the suggestion.
    2
  879. I disagree, and I don't think this economic issue is reason to bash Taiwan either.
    2
  880. Thanks for the tip.
    2
  881. I doubt it. Time will tell.
    2
  882. In general
    2
  883. Lol it’s hard, bro.
    2
  884. My later videos don't have music anymore.
    2
  885. The satellite evidence of the land seems pretty convincing.
    2
  886. Is that the one with the stormtroopers?
    2
  887. Wrote it myself. Not an AI, bro.
    2
  888. It was sitting in Early Access
    2
  889. Since the Stone Age!
    2
  890. I probably should have included a map of the two straits to give a better sense of the enormity of the task.
    2
  891. No you
    2
  892. Modern as in it isn’t dirt and rocks.
    2
  893. I did. Not worth the hour long wait.
    2
  894. How should axis be pronounced?
    2
  895. Didn’t know singing machines can comment on YouTube.
    2
  896. I don't see why the undeveloped flat land in the northern New Territories can't be used. There is a real Hong Kong Science Park right now in Pak Shek Kok.
    2
  897. Nothing is inevitable.
    2
  898. No, sadly. Not yet
    2
  899. It’s a descriptor. Like Zerg Rush.
    2
  900. Sure feel free to email me
    2
  901. I don’t really think this is true. There’s no evidence to support this whatsoever
    2
  902. I just use whatever I feel like.

    2
  905. Visual jokes and gags are my favorites.
    2
  906. One of the points I try to make here is that the money isn't there.
    2
  907. Looking forward to it too.
    2
  908. I still think it’s worth trying and persevering though. I feel many people could quit if they had the resources and support to do so. It also helps save them money!
    2
  909. Thanks for watching!
    2
  910. Yeah super tired. I do these after work. Thanks for watching.
    2
  911. Did you watch the video? I made this point in it.
    2
  912. Came to the wrong spot. This is for Hakka not haka.
    2
  913. They are a significant competitor, who has taken top customers from TSMC including Qualcomm and Nvidia. Regardless of their actions (of which you make unfounded accusations) they need to be mentioned.
    2
  914. I went back to that clip and I remember saying the line with tongue in cheek. I’ve read into how the GFC works for a video that never happened. It’s technically much more advanced than people think and is a powerful weapon. Considering all the work that’s gone into it, I don’t think any pressure from any government will get the Party to bring it down. I do recall Obama mulling the option of bringing it down a few years ago in response to state sponsored hacking.
    1
  915. I didn’t delete your comment - must have been YouTube. That link is super sad. Thanks for sharing.
    1
  916. Thanks for watching
    1
  917. I think the issue with your argument is that we can’t really identify a wave of privatized companies in Taiwan specifically. A large percent of the state assets were traded as part of land reform in the 60s. The last real state asset was the state telecom, which remains partially state owned today.
    1
  918. Deep
    1
  919. Thanks for watching. Anything else you’d like to see?
    1
  920. It’s mostly habit by now, ha! You end up just getting used to being yelled at.
    1
  921. Way to care for the people left behind, like me.
    1
  922. A travesty!
    1
  923. Yeah. 3 or so months ago
    1
  924. "Taiwanese just voted for a one China"? This is a false statement.
    1
  925. I do.
    1
  926. 😉
    1
  927. In my opinion, relative metrics make far more sense than absolute numbers.
    1
  928. Nice. Thanks for your feedback.
    1
  929. I'm glad I made you laugh.
    1
  930. Perhaps by lying about it
    1
  931. 🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜
    1
  932. It's the internet. What can you say?
    1
  933. I feel like they should, for sure. Taiwanese are great to work with
    1
  934. 🤔
    1
  935. Apple would probably still be with Intel if it weren't for TSMC. That's how partnerships work.
    1
  936. I wouldn’t use the phrase today and I cringe at it now.
    1
  937. So what to do about the local economy?
    1
  938. I thought the video explained pretty well why it makes more sense to have 1 better machine than two inferior ones.
    1
  939. The numbers aren't comparable.
    1
  940. Oops. Well, it’s not a Bengali channel.
    1
  941. Yeah it was good to see them back.
    1
  942. Ok
    1
  943. The resist sits in front of a mirror too.
    1
  944. Was pretty new and interesting to me
    1
  945. A pleasure.
    1
  946. You can find this particular post on asianometry.com
    1
  947. I misspoke.
    1
  948. It’s coming next week.
    1
  949. Why did you name yourself after a food?
    1
  950. Sorry ….
    1
  951. No.
    1
  952. 😐
    1
  953. Yes I am sorry about the runaway.
    1
  954. I am inevitable.
    1
  955. Why 7 years?
    1
  956. I misspoke.
    1
  957. I’ve never heard of cracks being annealed out of glass. Is this something you’ve done before?
    1
  958. Bro, I didn’t start with a question at all.
    1
  959. TLDR?
    1
  960. I’m neither Cambodian nor Vietnamese so I’d probably not be qualified for that sadly
    1
  961. It’d be definitely a point Of interest. Just haven’t had the time recently to make new work. But I’d be curious about what they think of ccp rule as compared to the status quo.
    1
  962. I'm keeping it in.
    1
  963. YESSIR!
    1
  964. Magnets.
    1
  965. Thanks for the insight.
    1
  966. Thanks for the feedback. Maybe check out some of the other videos I’ve done then rather than this one
    1
  967. Thanks for watching. It makes sense that American schools wouldn’t teach this stuff as it’s not in the states. So I don’t blame them. I hope learning about this stuff helps other people be more knowledgeable about Asia.
    1
  968. Like water
    1
  969. Susssssssssss so sussssssss
    1
  970. Yup. Check out the follow up video on this series of clan wars
    1
  971. Same for me, Captain Bongwater!!!
    1
  972. Yes.
    1
  973. Makes sense for a sub ethnic group that it’s hard to distinguish them genetically. Most of what unites the Hakka appears to be simply a matter of culture.
    1
  974. It has been raining a lot lately and that's probably the sound of rain hitting the roof. Sorry about that.
    1
  975. Then who wrote the text? What wrote the text? It must have come down from Mount Sinai, written with the finger of God.
    1
  976. Maybe Gigaphoton out in Japan
    1
  977. Yeah my error. Lots of comments about that bit.
    1
  978. Possible. We shall have to see what happens - it’s still two years away
    1
  979. Deal with it.
    1
  980. Or shall I say, "DWI"
    1
  981. Watch it again and see if that's what I actually said. It wasn't.
    1
  982. Thanks for your kind words. I hope you enjoy Taiwan during your second visit. What topics would you like to see from this channel address in the future?
    1
  983. Technically, I could have changed the company name to many other companies too. I kinda like the title.
    1
  984. I am a funny guy.
    1
  985. No I don’t.
    1
  986. Do Americans even want to work in semiconductors?
    1
  987. I’m not Korean so I’m probably not all that qualified to talk on the Korean colonization period. I am glad you liked the Taiwan under Japanese rule video. It was a favorite of mine to work on.
    1
  988. I’ll take a look at it. Thanks
    1
  989. Thanks!
    1
  990. Describes every country doesn’t it
    1
  991. Please visit!
    1
  992. Lol
    1
  993. That would be interesting for sure.
    1
  994. Engagement.
    1
  995. There’s nepotism in America too. I don’t see that as a Taiwan specific cause of lower salaries.
    1
  996. I'm pretty bad at pronunciation so thank you
    1
  997. The point is just to say that it’s complicated, rather than to draw a conclusion from the number.
    1
  998. Yet you clicked on it. LOL!
    1
  999. I googled this. The way I did it is apparently how it is pronounced.
    1
  1000. Thanks for watching!
    1
  1001. The working hours statistics cover all industries.
    1
  1002. I probably wouldn’t say it was advanced at the time. That memory technology probably would have been something like 5-6 years behind the leading edge. I think it’s an interesting thing to look at potential evolution in the transfer technology policies over time but generally I’d say that the government was and still is okay with transferring over such older technology. You can’t keep it forever.
    1
  1003. I know they exist but haven’t done a video on them yet. Trying to think of an Asian angle
    1
  1004. What do you mean?
    1
  1005. Thanks for the feedback, Anita
    1
  1006. It’s kind of like batteries. Can’t ever leave the lab. Science projects are a dime a dozen.
    1
  1007. Thanks for watching!
    1
  1008. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  1009. No. Totally serious. 100%.
    1
  1010. 😉
    1
  1011. I have no idea what that is. Is it a Facebook group?
    1
  1012. Young people in the west have gotten pretty rich by clicking on things. So I can’t blame them.
    1

  1014. 600k is far beyond what I can ever expect

    1
  1016. I accept your apology.
    1
  1017. Go Bears!
    1
  1018. Please do. I'm looking forward to your email.

  1019. Thank you and thanks for watching!
    1
  1020. It’s 18 minutes. Why go further
    1
  1021. It’s in Early Access. I shouldn’t have mentioned that video but I made them sequentially.
    1
  1022. Glad you advertised me your disinterest in the ad.
    1
  1023. Sorry, no such plans for now
    1
  1024. I just call him Nicky.
    1
  1025. it is.

  1027. It’s quite nice.

  1031. For people who are not familiar with the relationship between dialects, I felt adding the Mandarin pronunciation was relevant.
    1
  1032. Definitely uploaded HD. Maybe the pictures suck tho
    1
  1033. Thanks for your suggestion. I enjoyed researching this topic and am glad to see you watched it.
    1
  1034. Yeah my bad
    1
  1035. True. And the same goes if an asteroid hits the earth. Black swan events are excluded here.
    1
  1036. Why are you shouting?
    1
  1037. Yes. Of course.
    1
  1038. Thanks for the bits thing. I'm not changing my pronunciation.
    1
  1039. Taiwan got bombed pretty badly too during WW2. And as for South Korea, you are ignoring the Korean War entirely which was pretty devastating to both sides. So your argument is a bit confusing to me.
    1
  1040. Yay! Thank you!
    1
  1041. I think that’s the most common response for people hearing about this too. I for one definitely was shocked this happened and seems like they just kinda forgot about it.
    1
  1042. Yeah. I am just sitting on it. Not doing anything with it.
    1
  1043. Thanks man! You’re so nice!
    1
  1044. Doubt it

  1048. It’s on the plan to do so. Thanks for watching!

  1049. Try some breathing exercises.

  1050. ????????

  1051. Thanks for watching!

  1052. Works too

  1054. Thanks for watching!

  1055. Thanks. Maybe at 1M
    1
  1056. Deer are cool.
    1
  1057. I can’t do both the visuals and content without compromising on one
    1
  1058. You seem like a pleasant person to talk to, indeed.
    1
  1059. That’s pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing
    1
  1060. Thanks kind hearted citizen. You are so thoughtful to think about my health and well-being. You are good man for your Red Notice. Espionagious is not a word, by the way.
    1
  1061. The work hours statistics are not industry specific.
    1
  1062. I like to mix it up. My last video was about North Korea, after all.
    1
  1063. Wow so true! You’re a smart guy! Look, all seriousness. If how I pronounce a word matters more for you than the content itself, then you are free to go watch something else.
    1
  1064. Did you watch the whole video? It's there in the section "Fall of Southland"
    1
  1065. You’re welcome.
    1
  1066. I feel like this view really misses at the reason why China cares about Taiwan.
    1
  1067. Yeah there is
    1
  1068. I will and I have
    1
  1069. Coypu is a cuter word. Nutria sounds like a sugar replacement.
    1
  1070. Ian is a beast. It was fun
    1
  1071. You sound like a pleasant fellow
    1
  1072. Sorry to disappoint you, but English is my native language.

  1073. If I recall correctly, Chiang largely echoed the PRC’s HK sovereignty claims. He had begun agitating for its return before the outbreak of WW2. As for the Taiwan sovereignty claim over the South China Sea, I recall it came during a time during the Ma administration - when Taiwan and mainland were very close.

  1074. Shoot me an email!
    1
  1075. Thanks for watching! Anything else you’d like to see?
    1
  1076. I cringe at saying this now looking back at it. The point of the comparison is just only in terms of comparing tribes of people who have seen discrimination based on their identity. Nothing to do with the stereotypes around those peoples.
    1
  1077. Getting to it.
    1
  1078. Doesn’t sound real to me
    1
  1079. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for watching!
    1
  1080. Yeah a little under the weather.
    1
  1081. Yup, just search asianometry on patreon or check out the description.
    1
  1082. The video is already uploaded but thanks for the feedback.
    1
  1083. Thank you for watching. What would you like to see from this channel?
    1
  1084. I was being facetious.
    1
  1085. My last ten videos, I have done one on India, Australia, Japan, Germany, United States, Taiwan, England, South Korea, and just two on China. There is no "false advertisement". Asianometry says nothing about the country focus of the content. I chose "Asianometry" simply because I am Asian.
    1
  1086. My personal experience is that tribalism within Chinese people - including against Hakka - remains to this day in both overseas and native Chinese.
    1
  1087. Sad. Why hate piano
    1
  1088. TSMC paid him $21 million over his time there.
    1
  1089. I believe they will break ground in a few months.
    1
  1090. And what of the Taiwanese people?
    1
  1091. Thanks for watching. I wasn't referring to low wages when I was mentioning America, America has its own low salary issues for sure, but rather brain drain as America remains the premier magnet for attracting high-end talent from around the world. (Of course, recent immigration issues notwithstanding).
    1
  1092. Noticed you’re switching up the feedback. Thanks for watching
    1
  1093. I’ve been trying that yeah
    1
  1094. It is kind of a lazy excuse to simply just say that the USA is forcing everyone to do everything. Do they make you brush your teeth in the morning too?
    1
  1095. How about we agree to disagree?
    1
  1096. Ok Bobby
    1
  1097. What's that
    1
  1098. I meant 70%, 70% of 10nm = 7 nm
    1
  1099. Working on them.
    1
  1100. Ha
    1
  1101. I cringe at it now. As I wrote in an earlier comment, the comparison is exclusively surrounding the idea of a group of people discriminated against for their identity.
    1
  1102. Sadly while I was at the actual Singaporean library I neglected to take a pic of all the students. Needed an alternative.
    1
  1103. Thanks.
    1
  1104. The Bloomberg article doesn't mention anything about the AI chips being neuromorphic chips - it's likely they are just standard digital logic chips like TPUs. This video also mistakenly assumes that tech firms like Amazon or Google or Microsoft are building fabs. They are not.
    1
  1105. Someone commented that I should say no-KI-a though. What should I do?
    1
  1106. I've made a few videos on Hong Kong's economy already. Go check it out.
    1
  1107. 99 years ago I wasn’t
    1
  1108. Lol
    1
  1109. Sad.
    1
  1110. Thanks for watching.
    1
  1111. Like I said, it ain’t perfect. Any system will inevitably lead to trade-offs.
    1
  1112. Think I made it pretty clear it was impractical in the video. Or did you not watch it?
    1
  1113. Thanks for the info!
    1
  1114. Estuans interius, Ira vehementi Sephiroth!
    1
  1115. Thank you for your kind words. A small channel is just fine with me - too much publicity brings in the trolls. What would you like to see more of from this channel?
    1
  1116. I spoke about it in the first video about ASML and I didn’t want to repeat myself.
    1
  1117. Howdy!
    1
  1118. Thx
    1
  1119. Eh.
    1
  1120. Hm, I don't think I would come to the same conclusion as yourself. The internal dynamics of millions of people are always more complicated than they first seem. Personally I think if China were to democratize, all bets are off.
    1
  1121. Looks like it’ll be out Tuesday.
    1
  1122. There’s a big difference between what’s publicly announced and what’s happening on the ground. Based on my last trip there, it’s hard to say anti smoking efforts are making much progress.
    1
  1123. Didn't know that. My bad.
    1
  1124. Lord, my bad. I see that you sent a message to me on Patreon. I apologize and will respond!
    1
  1125. This is new to me. What are they?
