The photos you manage to unearth are incredible. Amazing research

You ok Asianometry, you sound sad. Hope you are good!

[quinnsoutar]

Hey, you sound rough here - which I totally get, I ain't far off myself with how life has been lately. No clue what is going on (or even if anything is, maybe you just didn't sleep well), but either way I just wanted to drop some words of encouragement.

You should be super proud of this channel of yours. Its some really outstanding material, with nigh-peerless depth and quality of research. You're out here making some of the best, most accessible deep dives into the semiconductor industry out there. Truly, I haven't seen much else like it, and I'm always excited to see a new one. It is material that has been of tremendous value, both to some of my own research and just my general knowledge of things. I recommend your videos to people all the time.

So, no matter what is up (if anything) just know you're at the top of the game and I always look forward to seeing whatever comes next!

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't burn out. Take care of yourself and family first. If you need to take a break, then take the break. Rest and recover.

The top universities in the UK and USA are full of Chinese students studying electronics and engineering.
The cost of research in China is a tenth of that in the USA so China can do a lot more research for the same US$.
With the western sanctions against China, this will actually make China more innovative and speed up development and manufacture in the same way as Russia had to with the 2014 Obama sanctions.

Hey man, I hope you're doing okay. You sound a bit exhausted. Take care!

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

yep another "youtube video to watch while eating" banger from asianometry

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 Asian? I'm half-Mexican: Alaska, Land-Bridge... enough said?

In the late 1980s, China took the advice of the US on industrial division of labor, abandoned domestic chip production, and chose to directly purchase "cheap" chips from the US. Eventually, the US took advantage of China. I think Huawei is just the beginning.

Please be OK, Asianometry! We care about you!

[OpinionatedMatt]

As a thank you and to cheer you up! 😂 I like the videos and the content although as a simple economics major I barely understand anything semiconductor related. Still, it’s fascinating stuff.

Found your channel a couple months ago. Now my favorite channel. I watch your videos whenever i have free time. Love your humor. Love the history. Ive learned so much. There are so many interesting things i can dig into further. Really great stuff!

[TheGreatAtario]

I see a lot of people saying you sound tired or depressed. It sounded to me more like you were trying to keep it quiet, like you might disturb someone nearby

[zhigangshen]

many impressive details. probably, one more important piece of details need to mention is 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 his early articles published in the late 80s.

what a comprehensive research on chinese semi-conductor industry! Thanks for sharing.🎉

[PhilippBlum]

Is it just me or do you have less energy? Everything okay?

[jinye]

A pretty good history of China's semiconductor industry at a glance...

[martinleung]

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.

Transistor radios for $3 in Hong Kong in 1963! The first transistor radio I ever saw was in Canada at about the same time -- but CDN$59, or roughly 15 to 20 times that price. Quite the gap!
