  1. To me the ARJ21 and C919 were never going to be the top of the industry. China never expected them to be. The issue is the second generation. That's when all of China' learning will matter. These two planes are mainly "testing" domestically and learning. That's how China works.

  2.  @lordkent8143  you underestimate how many warlords there were throughout China.... That is in addition to the Russians trying to take XInjiang and The British promoting Tibetans to break off from China. The Mainland was nowhere close to being unified. That is why Japan was able to gain so much territory... Even the coastal areas were still disjointed

  3.  @saileshrachapudi8486  So are you saying Apple's chips are "off the shelf ARM"???? That doesn't make sense. So Intel and AMD are the same since they use the same architecture??? you sound jealous

  4.  @indianatarzan8001  Actually only rich countries that control the world are against it. The rest of the world who was kept poor and subjugated LOVE what China does.

  5. One big correction... Chiang never unified China. China was disjointed after 1911.. Much of China was under warlords. Tibet was even trying to form their own nation. The Soviets were trying to pull away Xinjiang and Mongolia. So even after Japan surrendered - he didn't rule over a lot of China. That's why so many turned against them and the CPC grew in power and recruits and defectors - so he had to retreat.

  6.  @WwarGun  So you don't know how the US or Japanese or South Korean semiconductors started then.
    22
  7.  @markcasila8310  how can you steal something you pay for??? China paid Siemens and even Bombadier. Now it doesn't need them as Chinese trains are more advanced. Talk sensibly.

  8.  @icollectstories5702  Well that's because China was shut out of collaboration with NASA and so had to develop all it's own space tech. So yeah it will take China 5 to 10 years to break the lithography issue... But once it is broken - it is broken completely. The US didn't learn it's lesson.

  9.  @ArpanMukhopadhyay93  Other than be jealous - what can you do? Trying to cut China off from tech is exactly the reason they develop their own... That wasn't smart.

  10.  @DavisBlank  Yea a lot of clowns claim the west only hates the CPC but it is absolute nonsense. The west hated Chinese long before communism existed. That's why they invaded and also put barriers for Chinese to move to their countries. The self hatred among non mainlanders is pretty sad. They think westerners like or care about them - but all they are is a tool to use against the Mainland. The truth hurts and that's why they got so violent when you try to tell them. It's not just the QIng. The west looked down on the ROC from 1911 - right up until the Japanese bombed Pear Harbor. Then all of sudden the ROC became an ally. It's a sad joke.

  11. You should do another on BYD
    16
  12. One note... The Soong clan had lobbied Roosevelt to stop selling war supplies to Japan. That's why they bombed pearl harbor
    15
  13. How ironic everyone brings up Tiananmen - but never discusses several years earlier when the same thing happened in South Korea...
    15
  14. wow - I never heard it put that way - but that is a great analogy. note also during the Winter Olympics in South Korea the American news guy tried to say the Japanese helped develop South Korea during the colonial period. The South Koreans were FURIOUS - so much so the guy had to go back to the US

  15.  @duyle-ej6ty  every semi company has done so...

  16.  @lordkent8143  he didn't defeat many of the warlords...
    12
  17.  @fyfoh  oh well you are too smart for the world - you shouldn't even comment on YouTube. Well if it requires "minimum engineering" then "lots of companies" would have done better than Hi Silicon... So why didn't they? If they did minimal engineering there would be no reason for the US to be scared and ban them... And if Apple put so much money - they why bother to use ARM at all... They could come up with their own architecture right??? Please tell us owe genius one.
    11
  18.  @alexlo7708  BYD does makes electric buses in the US though... but they got in right before the anti China campaign started. Chicago has new subway cars from a Chinese company and some ppl in Congress wanted to draft laws blocking any other cities - claiming CHina could spy through the subways. the people are crazy in the US Congress
    11
  19. US gov money helped start Silicon Valley. The so called "free market" is a myth

  20.  @ashishpatel350  how is a joint venture stealing and espionage??? the whole point of a joint venture is to share tech.
    10
  21.  @etc21228  you still believe that fake news about Tiananmen. Go ask Julian Assange what Wikileaks uncovered. It was a fraud. The people killed were rioting workers who burned up soldiers in their vehicles. No students in the Square were run over by tanks. It's nonsense propaganda.

  22.  @marktran2657  It wasn't much better up to the 1960's

  23.  @_nom_  So why does Apple use ARM at all...??? If it is so easy then why did Huawei chips perform so well?
    9
  24.  @ps3301  do you call Samsung thieves too? Do you call apple thieves? nope only mainland companies - yet all of those companies have been found guilty one way or another
    9
  25.  @JohnWayne-dh8gl  yeah they act like this was arbitrary. Japan is still militarily occupied by the US. Japan does what the US says. Aside from semiconductors - Japan was forced to sign the Plaza Accords too which stunted their economy

  26.  @Freshbott2  That is an absolute lie. China had the strongest rules imposed on it by any country ever joining the WTO. This resulted in state owned companies laying off tens of millions of people. And actually if you check tariffs - China's average tariff has dropped against all nations except the US (because of US tariffs). And as far as IP - lots of cases brought - but very little ever stuck. I wonder why that is? But you just repeat the same sound bites with little facts backing them. Sad.

  27.  @slenderkid28  Not even 50 - the Brits were only kind to Hong Kong the last 20 years of the colonial period when it became clear China wanted it back in 1997 when the leases were over on the New Territories.

  28.  @Harthorn  How many places have smart enough people to elect the right people to govern them? Singapore... Maybe Germany... Not many. Even the Greeks who invented democracy noted that it is folly to expect the majority of people to know what's best. And actually - loving and supporting the party is actually NOT how you get ahead in the Mainland. You only advance if you show potential. They learned a lot from the Singapore system.

  29.  @shazmosushi  your type always claim every industry in the mainland is going to fail or go bankrupt but it never happens. in fact - look who has the most currency reserves in the world. also look where 4 of the 5 largest banks in the world are based. they didn't get that way by being bad at business... your political lens is coloring your view.

  30. Mainland China doesn't look at Taiwan firms as "foreign".
    7
  31. do you not know how many Taiwan engineers moved to the mainland??? but at least you exposed what the real issue is. a unified China is "too strong" for westerners tastes
    7
  32.  @duyle-ej6ty  makes perfect sense because tools companies - design companies - manufacturing companies all work together.
    7
  33. Cancelling Chiang - but looking fondly on Japanese rule... Very very strange.... How does that work? The Japanese murdered thousands who tried to resist them. There were many other heinous acts committed. So I don't get it.
    7
  34.  @jh85075  yes it is crazy. even now accepting vaccines from Japan that are Astra Zeneca which Japan and most of the west don't even want Astra Zeneca while refusing from the Mainland. It just boggles the mind - like the Hong Kongers still worshiping the British.

  35.  @iMadrid11  Loongson has developed it's own architecture. And you might not realize but AMD has 300 engineering positions open in Shanghai for a reason.... Stop being biased and learn how things really work

  36.  @profounddamas  yeah a lot of people don't understand that Samsung and TSMC started 7nm with DUV... And yes - Chinese companies have DUV

  37.  @PlanetFrosty  where on earth did you come up with that story?? LOL China and Russia relations are at an all time high.
    7
  38.  @WwarGun  Ok so you admit you are just prejudiced. And not agents of the state? DO you have any clue what the PRISM program is in the US? You think Japan doesn't have something similar?
    7
  39.  @etc21228  well it's simple... many were afraid because they were people who fled from the mainland. my own family were some. the idea though that HK is a colony that changed flags is nonsense. The Brits invaded and strong armed China to get Hong Kong. It simply returned it. Any who didn't like it was free to leave. A lot did - but a large part of them moved back to HK.

  40.  @alfaspiderveloce6617  Read the WTO rules... Developing countries are allowed to do that. It was put in place so rich countries wouldn't continue to dominate. now that China as gotten big all of a sudden everyone calls it a problem

  41. Great comment. That actually is a fairly common thing for people of that generation. The old Chinese in spite of all that went on in the Cultural Revolution were glad to see China strong again because they remember when China was just completely fallen apart and a tool for foreigners.

  42.  @alexlo7708  You do realize they even have their own operating systems right?

  43. Hong Kong and Singapore "Encouraged" people to not have more than 2.

  44. machines have made us dumber...

  45.  @ChnesRep中華民國OfTaiwan  Japan controlled Taiwan for 50 years.... Qing Dynasty had it for 150... The irony is the Qing left it to be basically autonomous. Then you same ones will claim the CPC is imperialistic over the island while lauding Japanese imperialism. It's called hypocrisy. And before the Japanese even got there the island was already majority Han since the Qing allowed them to move to the province.

  46. Huwaei and HiSilicon made an error in that they steamed ahead of the PRC's semiconductor manufacturing capability. I guess because relations had improved with the ROC in Taiwan - they figured that would shield them from US attempts to stop them. Well now they have wised up and are working with local tools companies to build supply lines and even EDA.

  47. he always has a pro western bias... no surprise.

  48. relying on western companies is never a good idea. nor relying on the western market... just ask Japan. NEC - Toshiba - Hitachi all got handicapped by US policies.

  49.  @duyle-ej6ty  RISC V is open source so that makes no sense. It also purposely relocated to a neutral country in Europe to get away from US potential sanctions.

  50. that is correct and that's why they lost the mainland. though they did make away with all the national reserves though. I dont' think Sun Yat Sen would have done the same things in provoking the civil war. Well I guess that's why Sun has a mausoleum on the mainland
