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.

The chip act looks more like a payoff of politicians in Whashington DC to silicon Valley. It's too late already, we are almost 100% dependent on foreign microchips, and those companies receiving these billions of dollars will keep on selling their new technology and developing their products overseas... no restrictions on any of these in the act in reality. Also, it was an executive order, which can easily be dismantled; if it was such a good idea why it did not go through the legislature, which both chambers, if Congress were democrat majority? Something fishy about this...
@bryce9497

@@germanarturo11 the fishy part relates to the bigger picture that Johnny didn't go into but alluded to: military superiority coupled with economic superiority sufficient enough for China to supplant the United States as global hegemon. The problem is that if China isn't already at that point, they are working extremely fast to get there. They have been outspoken about their goal to become global hegemon by at latest 2049, and their plan is phased to transition from economic competition and being leveled with the United States to then achieve military superiority and put it to work. And it's not just about microchips, is about becoming the primary source of all relevant military and consumer products the 4th industrial revolution. China controls the supply chains are pretty much all the relevant raw materials in modern economy, including rare earths and specialized metals like lithium, titanium, nickel, and cobalt. The other primary sources are Chile, Australia, the Congo, and the mother load is located in, you guessed it, Eastern Ukraine. In fact, prior to the invasion, Ukraine was dishing out mining permits to around 9000 surveyed massive deposits of 117/120 most utilized raw materials to European and North American entities over Chinese entities. Ukraine was also signing economic alliances for renewable energy products like lithium batteries with the European Union. A month before Russia's invasion, China and Russia entered a "no limits" partnership with the express purpose of countering the United States, NATO, and the West generally. Russia is China's most strategic partner for global supremacy. All the oil and natural gas that was going to Europe is now going east to China and other Southeast Asian countries. Russia natural resources, military capability, coastline in the Northern Arctic, and vast terrain is the perfect buffer against NATO. Furthermore, at the same time they were creating and doing preliminary tests of that missile, China launched the Belt and Road Initiative, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and a rival of the US dollar trade and finance system (SWIFT) which is the CIPS for the Chinese yuan. These are all institutionally geopolitical tools that functionally replace the United Nations and all of its subsidiary entities like the IMF and WTO. The frosting on the cake is that China's infrastructure is the most advanced in the world, similar to how the United States was by the 1950s after World War II. The only thing they are missing is the power over international financial institutions and global governance to facilitate their rise to the top. All of these moving parts suggest that in the near term, we are entering a Split world order between east and west along with authoritarian v. democratic regimes. Both sides will likely have their own ecosystem of technologies, currencies, and supply chains... it's likely that people will not be able to easily travel between east and west. Ultimately, it seems that the United States views its only way to maintain global supremacy is through some sort of military conflict that cuts off China's ambitions before they reach a level of superiority. But leading up to that point, we still rely on China and its allies for the majority of our critical raw materials, products and services. So we can't afford to cut them off completely right now. All we can do is just slow them down while establishing the foundation for what will be a military conflict.

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

Cool video and a great way to explain the concept of a microchip. However, I do think you missed an opportunity to highlight the importance and criticality of a single company in this supply chain and therefore geopolitical conflict: ASML. These advanced chips of today would not exist without those lithography machines. In fact, the story itself about how this company established this monopolistic position and over time became Europe's most valuable company is very interesting and maybe worth telling in a separate video. Actually the Dutch prime minister visited the United States yesterday to specifically talk about this topic and ASML's role in this geopolitical conflict. You see, ASML would miss out on billions of revenue if they don't to sell those machines, which cost a minimum of $200 million each, to China. Occasionally they also catch 'spies' from China trying to steal company secrets from ASML in the Netherlands. Would love to see a more in-depth video on this as the US can create all the FABS they want but they won't be able to function without these machines ✌

Absolutely I was thinking the same. Johnny didn’t didn’t emphasise enough the singular role of that company. I would even say that this tech is more important to china than anything coming from the us. This is the one step of the supply chain that they have no clear way forward in building within their own borders… it is the key technology that they lack to build chips on the level of intel, tsmc and Samsung.

Just a correction, China is making their own military chips. Military level chips need to be large and robust. The chip war is very little into military competition; most of it is about economic dominance.

One thing about japan is that once it took a back seat to making chips itself, japan decided to be the country that makes the machines that make the chips. In addition to the machines that make the chips japan makes the chemicals that adhere to the chips and nearly have a global monopoly on said materials. Japan is still very much in the chip game just not so overtly.

Unlike the US, China revendicates Taiwan not for its microchips industry, but because Taiwan historically used to be chinese before the government that Mao expelled took refuge in Taiwan. Moreover China is now capable of producing their own chips, so tsmc isn't as strategic for them as it is for the United States.

I did a four year enlistment in the military in avionics and they taught us both tubes and semiconductors. It is amazing the changes I have seen over 50 years. Huge pieces of electronics that took up a whole rack have been reduced to a few rack spaces.

Another interesting point is how much further can silicon technology even go from here. Only in a few years we've gone from 28nm chips to < 5nm chips and are literally trying to break physics to achieve better results by going smaller. Kinda scary to think we might hit a plateau of some kind that results in no more insane innovation in this space.

There are already plans for the next 10 years to improve the chips. For example, ASML is developing a high NA EUV lithography machine that can print the chips even smaller. Furthermore, they are planning to design the chips not just in two dimensions but in three dimensions by stacking them above each other which will greatly improve the transistor density.
