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.
Next week’s video (about submarines) is live now on Nebula where I publish every video one week early.

While in the US they spend the last 25 years creating rules and regulations for the manufacturing industry, blocking new industry to grow due the "green agenda", increasing labor taxes, promoting strikes thru the unions and forcing the actual factories to outsource in other more industry friendly countries…. The train have passed and the technology is being produced else where now. I do believe now it is too late. It is not an "if.." question. It is a "when.." question about chine to dominate the technology.
“We are at a stage where interdependence is used as a weapon” This is so hilariously stupid that humanity does this. In any other system this would result in a catastrophic failure. Like if the heart stops beating to make a point to the rest of the body that would be the end of you. Humans like to fight for things like power and control without actually knowing why they fight for it. They just do. As if they are programmed to do so. As long as governments exist in the way they do today and power is in the hands of a few human beings wars will keep happening. Democracy is flawed because it puts immense amount of power in the hands of a few people. Just like capitalism. If the system does not change humanity will always be at war with itself.
A podcast would be amazing. Invite politics, history, sociology professors. Invite scientists. Invite politicians. Invite speakers from different political institutes (Institute for eastern european studies, institute for the study of war, etc.)
So glad you are covering this topic! I am in the middle of writing my thesis based on Taiwan and China’s relationship and the microchip war is a big part of it. So I really connected with this video. Great work!
hey mr smart, the chips inside your fridge or speaker are not important(i can build them in home) for this is about only 0.01 of chips, the -150 nm chipsets Moron make a research before making video like a smart guy.
Taiwan is not a country, even America do not recognise them as a country. The Taiwanese president that was pushing for independence lost election because the Taiwanese people are more interested in stability and peace than Western backed independence that may lead to war against China. STOP THE MISINFORMATION.
Excellent video. I would just like to point out that, the reason for China being the biggest customer for microchips is because it is manufacturing many electrical products for the rest of the world. And out of the top 20 manufacturers who purchase semiconductors in China, more than half of them are not Chinese companies.
China would not have been thriving in their mix economy, so they're only good at is copying the US. And this is why a lot of Chinese students come study in the US on a visa to find internship or a job in these semiconductor companies, and steal intellectual property.
Ridiculous, the USA become super power by using its military power to kill/threaten other countries’ citizens and got richer. On the other hand, China got richer mostly by working harder. For example, the US citizens wanted to consume more than what they could produce. China used the opportunity and got richer. Now all these countries, not just only blaming China for growing faster but also trying to take credit by saying that their “technology support” helped China to grow faster
If the US is trying to move production back home they will be able one day to no longer support Taiwan and then its over 🙈 btw as a German I see a lot of fab projects here too now. Governments and companies take the learnings from the chip crisis quite seriously.
And there, Ladies and Gentlemen, we hae the real reason why the United States will defend Taiwan against China. It's no more about freedon and Democracy than the Gulf War. It's about ulterior motives and if Taiwan ends up being taken over by China and the CCP the United States stands to lose their bread and butter in the semiconductor industry. I'm not saying it's a bad reason. They just need to be honest about it.

WWIII coming soon!!!
"My Dildo" – Silicon. Lol
Hi, Nick! Nice to meet you!
Opium War … once again
800+ billion dollar military budget and China is ahead 😂😂
I recommend the Joe Rogan podcast episode with geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan. It’s a very insightful conversation.

Let’s go Brandon

There's a channel called asianometry that goes into chip manufacturing.
We learn alot from your videos. Thanks. Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina
The article was exciting, and it amazed me how Johnny repeatedly disgraced some multi-billion dollar news outlets.

the world is metamorphosing to something else
Reminiscent of the USSR's attempts to copy western computers by reverse engineering.
So glad you are covering this topic! I am in the middle of writing my thesis based on Taiwan and China’s relationship and the microchip war is a big part of it. So I really connected with this video. Great work!

28:54 noo i want my 5090 ti 🙁
Johnny got very unique way of explaining
Your story telling is next level. You deserve much more recognition. Glad to find you.

STOP THE MISINFORMATION.
I enjoy your videos, maybe even too much.
However, watching them I get some Cleo Abrams vibes. It would be so awesome to make a video with her.

you masked of how they need us for all the imports and how one ship make more polishes then x cars in there life time is so big
We Humans are mind blowing
I always wondered why the hell the US didn't just build fabs here. No brainer.
Johnny, your news story is the best of its kind!

Yes my life depends on these bag of ruffles that is facts

always the best videos. i learned a lot again.
