Just want to share these relevant videos from Asianometry: How Semiconductors Ruined East Germany https://youtu.be/cxrkC-pMH_s https://youtu.be/cxrkC-pMH_s Why Europe Lost Semiconductors https://youtu.be/5ZdmS-EAbHo https://youtu.be/5ZdmS-EAbHo Europe’s Lost Decades in Semiconductors https://youtu.be/PpSdytrNEBg https://youtu.be/PpSdytrNEBg It's great to get chip manufacturing back to Germany after all the struggles, even if it's not cutting edge.

I watched a few of their videos, but I felt like it was an anti-china propaganda outlet. I'm def not a fan of the CCP, so I loved watching the videos, but I felt like I was getting brainwashed. Does anyone know how valid/factual their videos are?

  The video about the East German chip industry is well researched. Making the chip industry investments responsible alone for the collapse of the GDR is a bit click-baity (it was at most one contributing factor).

  As factual and valid as you could hope for. I find his work very thorough. Here's a video about China's Gallium & Germanium Export Controls: https://youtu.be/J4XU-QxXJMw https://youtu.be/J4XU-QxXJMw I didn't find it anti-China, neither are his other videos in my opinion. According to the transcript below Jon Y. is half Taiwanese/Hong Kong, make of that what you will. https://www.manifold1.com/episodes/jon-y-asianometry-on-semiconductor-tech-and-u-s-china-competition/transcript https://www.manifold1.com/episodes/jon-y-asianometry-on-semi...

  Can you provide some examples of content you felt was anti-China propaganda / brainwashing?

  If it matters, in an interview he had, he said he thought China would successfully... reunify with Taiwan if it tried, and iirc, that it would happen eventually. I think a lot of people in the Asian geopolitical theater just really don't like China because they do a lot of crappy things.

This isn't quite the only fab in Dresden. GlobalFoundries (ex-AMD) even does 12nm manufacturing in the same city, at least according to Wikipedia. There are others too (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Saxony https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Saxony).

Now if we also get back some drug manufacturing we might even be ready for the 21st century
