    Kind of a funny nitpick, when talking about the car manufacturing chip shortage, you showed the production line of Toyota, the one car manufacturer arguably most insulated (though not entirely) from the chip shortage because they previously realized how devastating a chip shortage would be and, as a result, stockpiled a healthy supply.

Because the US is shifting back to civil nuclear and found that they are behind the French, hence they did the hit!

    I don’t agree with the closing statement in this video. Now that American “supremacy” is threatened, there is talk of bipolarisation and ill portention of a Chinese way growing stronger. But isn’t that a rather negative and inefficient take on the way the world is developing? China’s progress is signaling other countries to pull their socks up, rethink resource allocation and plan definitively and efficiently. Technological competency and (if possible) self sufficiency are vital areas for a country’s future and China has the right to pursue these to the best of her abilities. Why it is continually framed in such a negative light is frankly a bit dismal.

It is a learning process. China doesn’t have the blueprint, they must learn from the beginning to understand how things work. I bet for 99% of the countries they can’t even understand how it works with a blueprint provided. Right now, there are more and more China-owned technologies. China is developing fast, while western world become slow and lazy. It is a shame.

      @Corona Virus We don't make the US weaker; we are side with the US. And EUV is developed with help from TSMC. TSMC's clients like AMD, Apple, and others have to use technologies owned by TSMC to make their products, that's why they all place orders to TSMC, if in a future day, TSMC decides to not stick on just making chips, TSMC can make CPU, supercomputer, Mobile phone with better quality. And the profit rate of TSMC is around 60% or higher, compare to intel's 27%. TSMC is a company that needs smart people, not ordinary laborers.

    I worked at DEC Digital Equipment Corp in Shrewsbury Ma in 1991 and we had been defeated by IBM as the leader in the personal computer field. We were making large servers w/ dumb consoles and IBM made smart consoles. We were ahead in chip manufacturing tech but our business plan was wrong. We anticipated there to be a cloud before one was possible. We sold our chip tech to a Taiwanese Company and I trained them how to do my small part in the process. Then we shipped the huge machines half way across the world. I assume it was to TSMC. We had the 64 bit Alpha Chip back then, but we were bankrupt.

    Chinese officials have always hoped to develop their own chip industry.
    However, private companies in mainland China do not have this motivation because they can easily buy more stable and advanced chips from the United States.
    Until the United States imposed various restrictions on Chinese private enterprises.
    This will promote the development of the chip industry in mainland China. Of course, the process will be a bit painful.
