The US and China are fighting a war. It's a weird one that's hard to see. It's being fought in government offices, in company boardrooms. And it’s being fought over the most important technology in the world: Microchips.

From Doritos to semiconductors, Johnny sure knows a lot about chips.

It’s so mind-boggling to think that we can make transistors less than ten atoms wide now 🤯 — We didn’t even have rockets one-hundred years ago!

Okay the size of a transistor being smaller than a strand of DNA is actually blowing my mind right now. That is so so so so crazy. To think how far we’ve come

I am scientist at a University in NC. My PhD was in microfabrication and photolithography. You nailed this video. All of the science content was correct and communicated very well. I enjoyed watching this video because outside of the engineering and science content, I learned a lot. Well Done sir!

Being an engineer in ASML, I must say you did a great job explaining the whole thing. Great video as usual but I wish you had talked more about ASML than just saying magic laser machine makers. Having a monopoly on lithography machine manufacturing, they are not less of a player than TSMC in the global chip supply chain.

I am an engineer and I studied semiconductors for two semesters in school. Johnny’s explanation of what chips are and how they work was BY FAR the simplest I have ever seen or heard. You really are a gem of a content creator. Please never stop the good work. ❤

Fantastic! I work at one of these companies and it was so delightful to watch such a beautiful presentation of the work that my company is doing. You made me learn about my company much more than my company's onboarding videos did!

I work in the semi conductor industry as a design engineer in the US and I feel great after watching this video, especially the short story of the mind boggling chip manufacturing process. Its unknown to many but its just out of the world tech innovation humans have ever come across. Many also don't know the impact of this trade war in their day to day life. I am happy you summarized it pretty well. I would love to watch a video on the whole cycle of chip designing. Its really interesting and it would be great for others to hear it from you. Great job Johnny.

Fabs really are remarkable. Some of the most automated facilities in the world, and they require almost complete retooling when wafer sizes change every few years. I worked in the space creating high purity gas lines for some of the bigger tool makers and the market is a constant cycle of boom and bust.

I love how polished your vids are Johnny, I think at least out of the people I watch on YouTube you make the most cinematic productions well done man you defo earnt that Emmy well done dude

I knew the importance of microships, but as an european engineer I had absolutely no ideal of all this geopolitical background acts! Thank you for bringing light for this, since the mainstream media only focus on superficial stuff! Subscribed

When the chips act got passed and TSMC announced the investment in the US all i could think about was HOW none of the large Media outlets reported on this in the huge way this deserves. This is BIG.

EDIT: of course some reported, but I felt like delayed and without proper economic analysis.

Just watched this one. Great piece. You are absolutely killing it, Johnny. No one comes within 1, 000 miles of you for breaking down complex topics in such an articulate and entertaining way. Well done, sir.

Interesting video as always! Might be a bit biased since I’m Dutch, but I feel like you didn’t really highlight the significance of ASML and the Dutch-US relations in this. 90% of the machines that make the chips are made by ASML. The Dutch government banned export to China, under pressure from the Biden administration. Our prime minister visited the white house earlier this week too. The EUV machines made by ASML are so advanced that that even if China were to receive an EUV machine, it would still take them years to understand and be able to make those machines themselves (or at least I’ve been told so). In a decade or 2-3, ASML came from non-existent to being market leader. Moreover, there was a huge scandal about a decade ago where Chinese spies infiltrated ASML. I have some minor knowledge on this but if you have the time I would greatly appreciate another video on this! Chris

The visual storytelling that you create is phenomenal, and unlike many other youtubers. I truly love the way that you explain things and with tom fox’s music it sets the mood for everything. Thanks for all the work that you and your team put into making your videos.

I always love all of your videos but as someone working towards getting my degree in Electrical Engineering, with a concentration in Micro and Nano Devices, I found this particular video even more interesting. Keep up the great work.

Spent my Saturday from morning to late night watching your videos. You’re the best at breaking down Geopolitics.
I can’t stop watching. Learned in one day more than my entire school years. Thank you 🙏🏽

The most important thing Johnny said here was “weapononizing economic interdependence” - very true. When these nations were becoming interdependent, they didn’t think some of them would intend to weaponize it. It shows why many empires of the past aimed to be 100% self sufficient.
