@sunsetlights100 : UK did have manufacturing, that was the point.. We did have mining, and that lead to engineering.. the next phase is to make electronic components. So many cities or places, did not have mining either. They imported things in to build their buildings. Whereas for the UK, we built our own...

So how come Siemens did not get some of the outsourced NHS contracts then ? If they couldn't deal with the hardware, then why not the softwares ? And then to cruise both ???

@marcowen1506 : What, even A15 like the Apple chips ??? Well..... The video did state that they could've made the computer chips, Intel or AMDs... but they did not. And that is their downfall really. Cos if they did, and then we slowly pivoted as well... Instead, it is Netherlands that did high end chips, like the NX conductors ? Well.... By then, a lot of people are not even interested in working for them then. Although quite a lot of computer fairs at that time, and then most people that I know, went straight into softwares... and left semi conductors behind. Imagine if it was the other way around. UK made high value chips. And the softwares were outsourced to China, say...

@alice_agogo : By UK standard, this video is insider info... cos I should not be able to access this knowledge, at all.... Cos my previous mobile phones, would've blocked me from seeing such videos... And these so called "youtubers" often.. violates... international laws and deals.. in their pursuit to sell data and infos....Such that, they indirectly discriminate as well.. without even knowing....

@andywoodhouse7903 : It's weird... I remember that at uni, a friend of mine from Japan, came to manchester to do his research, and then he spent his entire career making those screen substrates for iPhones... and that really was the turning point really. And if you searched.. there was an actual video about why and how come iPhone was made in China to begin with, cos their "screens were cheaper to make", like heck they were cheaper to make. If this shows us anything, it is that china benefitted a lot over the years being the major factory of the world, and they did not even sorted out their own financial sector !!! Now that really is just..... I call that stealing.

@destinilund4771 : I think what you will find is that, those Singapore students were already "stealing"... even when I was at uni, this was already happening. Students were plagerising, and the rise of the internet was happening. Did you really thought that those inside China were "skilled" and "educated" ? Who connected the internet back then ? Which undersea cable was installed back then ? Don't be naive... and now, China is ready to build military equipments backwards to attack other countries. Good going ! And you can thank Germany for supporting them in doing this move. Why was Taiwan moved there? As someone who is of chinese descent.. I think I would say that Taiwan was definitely a political move. And Singapore had their greedy elites that wanted to sit in power inside the PRC already. And why would they not??? I went to Manchester, and there was a lot of actual research back then as well. We were into cryptography, and also models for "robot to build robots" at that time... Well, that is how China took over in the end, wasn't it ? Well, the rest is history now.... Germany has never really left China... even post second world war. So... Siemens had an office in Manchester, and I think it was the NHS who had to hold its hand really.. to give them jobs and sales !!! So yes... who paid for whose stability here? So it is no wonder that we did not actually joined the euro. And now brexit is a reality. Well...

Cos people started to import cheap items in from China then ? So why weren't they blocked ? You see how we kick ourselves in the foot sometimes? Is this why our exchanges collapsed in and of itself ? And then the commonodities market went with it as well ? And now, here we are, a single mega round circle. And now, if only we had a commodities market again. But oh no... it is China this time round talking about building a commodities' exchange.. Isn't this why they created things like bitcoins ? Or digital exchanges? Sorry... but I am not touching the East European digital coins and what nots.. We brexited. So be it. If they want to be china's extra province, then let them be. Ireland wanted to create their own digital coin.... Laughable. In this lockdown, wasn't the US stock exchange paused ? Cos it was frying itself ? Obviously China exporting isn't working so well then...
