  Why build yourself if you can buy?  Well, until you find that sanction prevents you to buy from your usual suppliers. The Chinese learned the hard way.

  It is no big mystery. In the early 1980’s the architectural firm I worked for had a wafer fab plant division. We designed plants all over the world. We did one in China. We had one guy on sight during the construction phase. It was just another contract for services. It was no big deal. I believe that all the manufacturing machines (tools) were made in Switzerland, disassembled, shipped to China and assembled in place by the Swiss engineers. No big deal.<br><br>Larry in Arizona

  Dude, you sound depleted. I am writing this comment at around the 45 second mark. The energy in your voice is not the same as your other videos. Take time to rest and don&apos;t burn out. Take care of yourself and family first. If you need to take a break, then take the break. Rest and recover.

  Thanks!✌🙌🐰🐇I Love you, your wry sense of humor, and your vidz. Please keep it up. Your vidz help this nurse nurse more effectively through my long 12hr night shifts. Maybe a lil bit &nbsp;Asian? I&apos;m half-Mexican: Alaska, Land-Bridge... enough said?

  It will be foolish to think that the connection between Chinese semiconductor industry and the western technology providers will sever just because of what the American government does. Like you said, the Chinese and the Russians are extremely good at circumventing regulations. In 1890&apos;s when the Chinese exclusion act forbids Chinese immigrant workers to enter the US, every San Francisco woman was calculated to have given birth to 12 babies, because there was a loophole in the law that allows foreign born babies by Chinese American women to be repatriated. As you see are already witnessing how Huawei is still able to catch up with its Kirin series, there is no doubt that the high-end semiconductor researchers, both in the US and Taiwan, will continue to migrate to China to pursue their careers, bringing with them the needed talents and knowhows.

  Been binge watching asianometry lately and I have to say you&apos;re doing great work. Lots of fascinating stuff.

  many impressive details. &nbsp;probably, one more important piece of details need to mention is &nbsp;former President Jiang was in charge of IC industry development when he was the Minister of Electronic Ministry in the 80s. He appeared having a strong sense of urgency to make IC a key national priority in one of &nbsp;his early articles published in the late 80s.
