USA vs China: The Microchip War 

E

link doesn't work unfortunately ( it works but "to" and the end of the link got into the link)

Let’s go

Military (??), like MIC (??) that has been creating arms of dêäth of millions of people worldwide. Sad. Btw who nuked Japan and only country to use nuclear weapons, also did not sign against first use ?

you've changed the name of the video lol? another great video though! reading up about Morris Chang his history is pretty insane he failed to obtain his PhD at harvard yet got a job at texas instruments climbed the ranks to vice president then started his own company in taiwan and become no.1 in the world like what the hell. education system must be pretty poor to not be able to recognise an obvious genius like this

Good one

Crunchy videos

You could say he has a chip on his shoulder...

It's called research... Alot of it He still knows alot though

Damn you beat me to this comment

Bro why are you here

Who is we? ah yes the Dutch well for the most part.

We can't the nm in the process name is not really related to the actual size of the structures being made.

@@randar1969 LMAO

Lol ... everything went down the drain....China semicon technology has advanced even further due to their restriction and is now self reliant in semicon industry...good job China 😂

Same 🤯🤯🤯

Moore's Law is dead. We might have to split atoms to go further.

@@nolongerblocked6210 Most transistors in use arent that small afaik, IBM conducted experiments and successfully made a 2 nm transistor some time back but it's not in mass production, most PC CPUs, phone SOCs, etc are currently in the range of 10nm - 4nm depending on how old the semiconductors are. (However, tsmc and samsung are already in production of 3nm dies i believe)

IBM will start their 2nm mass production during this year. Probably not a full-scale yet though.

they will make it smaller than nano the task is to go to Pico metters - 1000 x smaller than nano

USA average IQ is only 85 vs Chinese average IQ of 109. In the long run, the Asians will outsmart the Americans.

a little oversimplified but thats okay - he isn't a science explainer

@@channelname4331 that's a relative statement. It's only oversimplified if the details he left out would help you understand the point of the video more. This is not a video about how to build a microchip, but the role microchips are playing in geopolitics, and potentially, open warfare. 🚀

Except that he called a vacuum tube a transistor.

Johnny talks to his audience like they have a 40 IQ.

Great video like always

Nice

Good

Very nice video

Hi

Thx for the magic laser machines

Thank you for the magic laser machines. Lol. Did you read chip wars by chris miller?

i was about to comment the same thing. great video as always but just want to mention that the machines that create the chips are created by a single company in netherlands and they have monopoly on that product. they are at the same level of importance like china, taiwan and US and should have had your attention too in this conflict.

But they are valued less than TSMC. TSMC is still slightly more critical

Yeah! Thanks for the magic laser machines!

Hi 5. I do work in FABs too but in Singapore

So if anything was reverse engineered from alien technology itd be the microchip process

Dada jhonny Harris er mentality ho6 typical European colonial mentality I'm also a daily viewer of his channel but recently some of his videos changed my narrative over him

@@ronnieroyyy9 👈🤡

Bro come to india and please do your research here. Is it possible to make your own chip without US help ?

I worked in a fab back in 1998 in colorado springs. Company call Atmel Corporation. We made the chip for PS2 Sony playstation. I was etch fab and photos.

@@kimjongun269 I am certain I've quoted parts that would later be sold to Atmel/Microchip.

For me it is the EVU machines that FABs use. ASLM doesn't get enough credit. The people who create the tools to make the tools don't either. The mirrors alone are just mind bending. Wish there was a video on how a chip is made. Ground up. From uhh the architecture? To the software to hardware. A video that I easily digestible for a layman like myself. Same with tool makers and military weapon makers.

@@dianapennepacker6854 check out asianometry, he has excellent videos about the semiconductor industry!

@@thorwaldjohanson2526 That was one video I did watch. I want to learn more though! He gave a slick break down for sure. Dude is a wealth of information. Know any other channels like him or like Harris? I'm sick and so have a LOT of free time and burning through subjects and content. I found one channel that that seemed informative but required knowledge before hand as I was googlibg terms left and right and then had to Google those terms haha.

Historically it has always been western that invades the east. China's phylosophy has never been to wage wars externally.

That‘s actually wrong. Interdependence is actually a good thing. In the case of China and the US, China is much more depend on the US, that's why the US can easy ban all these things.

@@JR-vc4gm china depends on US for its technology yes. But, US depends on china for their cheap labour. To top it off, technology like EUV is not an exclusive US developed technology too

@@armageddon87 you can always relocate cheap labor, but it's nearly impossible for China to make its own high-end chips. That's why US was able to ban from selling technology and chips to China.

@@armageddon87 There are many places in the world to get cheap labor.

you got infected by bots

such a generous comment thank you!

@Don't Read My Profile Picture i won't

Why are there always so many fanbois in the comment section of this channel that contribute absolutely nothing to the conversation?

Instead watch the movie, your name

Military doesn't need cutting-edge iphone chips. It needs reliant bigger ones. China probably has a self-reliant military chip industry, already. I doubt if Joe Biden knows that and he knows his decision is largely political.

That's because Nancy pelosi bought 70% of the stock and she told the media to keep it quiet.

They're too concerned with bullshit, hocus-pocus woke social issues. Important geopolitical news with major economic or military implications doesn't get clicks or views from Americans anymore.

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...

@@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.

@@germanarturo11 Only direr on the GOP side. How many Americans from, let’s say, Alabama, knows what it takes to make chips? NVIDIA, AMD are just basically run by ethnically Chinese. Intel, Qualcomm, are basically run by Indians. All other high-tech companies are basically 1/3 of Chinese and 1/3 Indians. Very few of the high tech companies are run by Americans. In silicon valley, in Austin TX. MAGA people is a joke in this regard. If the US companies pay better , people work for the them. If the CCP companies pay better, people work for them. We all work for few years here and few years there. I know a pretty renowned startup company moved to Switzerland, so that it can continue doing business with both sides. Huawei just set up some umbrella company, let’s say in Singapore and nobody really cares. It’s all about the bs politicians bs-ting around.

Don't know if you know of Jake Tran, but he puts out some good stuff. Not exactly the same as Johnny but good entertaining info as well.

+Trumpf for the UV Lasers

Before the year is over we’re gonna be bored with loads of RU-vidrs doing their piece on ASML. This company from the Netherlands is almost incomprehensibly important in this very war this video talks about

And it's widely thought the Nordstream2 bombing was the first act of US industrial sabotage, when in fact it was the ASML manufacturing facility that housed the first EUV lithography machine destined for China. Shortly after the arson attack, the US passed a law forbidding the export of such technology.

@pikachus 5m You're an absolutely dead brain if you believe that the US was the one to sabotage Nordstream2. I hope you get help. 🫤

@@pikachus5m166 I'd like a source for that

Just adding more info, ASML is right in the middle of this conflict. That said my Counter point is that the dutch could have not developed this machine alone. American engineers made thousands of the most crucial parts in the EUV machine along taiwanese, Korean, and Japanese engineers. They own those patents, and have said they will be revoked if they sell to China. This imo is where it starts to get really blurry.

Hey fellow department of commerce friend 👋

Slightly comparable, I work as a shipping manager in the port of Rotterdam and Brexit brought back all the paperwork and fine print. This is while the UK is the Netherlands 3rd largest trading partner. I simply can't understand the people looking at the world and then say: "We need to get out of the EU as well!". Of course they think Putin and Russia is just a minor thing, China is great for cheap stuff and that the US will always have our backs....yeah, we saw with Trump who claimed Montenegro (he didn't know it was a country, I'm sure) would be the cause of WWIII.

Even if the US banned any 3nm to 5nm chips to Chinese companies, the US would not be able to stop China from making weapons. Because China already has the industrial technology of 7nm to 28nm chips. Weapons don't require microchips, except for iphones and ipads. If China wants to put microchips in weapons, they can remove them from iphones. Is APPLE pulling out of the Chinese market?

@@nlx78 "the US will always have our backs." You are now dependent on us, which is why you are free falling downward, but we are not better.

good. Cyber security and general physical and counter-social engineering security has taken a loooong time to finally catch up. TSMC is important, but ASML is the also important.

Fully support china

Make sure you cover the part where china used to be a military dictatorship and the people rose up and kicked them out and these nationalists fled to Taiwan where they formed their own government, killed the opposition and maintained the dictatorship for another 30 years while setting up these fabs

This comment feels like a discussion post lol

Interesting

Taiwan will always be a part of China！

But the conflict started along before chips were even invented 😮

What use is the skill if no raw material? Equally important in my opinion

​@@eechaze12 Hate to break it to you, but silicon as a raw material is ABUNDANTLY present. It is extremely plentiful and cheap, everywhere. The second most common element in the planet's crust. "Mining silicon" is basically collecting sand. The knowledge and facilities to manufacture semiconductor wafers, and microfabrication of chips from those, is the limiting factor.

@Laxmi Kanth Yeah Johnny Harris is referring to wafers and completed chips when he says "silicon". Not the raw material.

Love when the viewer's also can contribute with missed information. It's so important to be able to criticize a work

ASML does not ship the latest tech to china - they keep the tech to supply intel etc. - on the other hand intel announced to open microchip factories in europe (eg germany) to secure the supply of microchips to the automotive industry

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.

He might have emphasized it more, but he does mention it in this video (around 17:47). He probably did not want to go off too much on a tangent. He warns beforehand it is super simplified. I agree it deserves a separate video.

There’s a really good video on that company, I forget who made it tho

Absolutely agree! Also my first one

Teşekkürler efendim

Have fun binge watching all his videos. I havent come across one i dont like yet.

All of the videos on this channel are great!

this guys hasn't explained much! yep the conflict is about chip at least he said that and I was surprised of that! But he is splitting Taiwan from China! And he is saying like US is protecting Taiwan from its biggest neighbor China! .. Dude,. the US is simply attacking China to get control of Taiwan and thus have control over the chip ! Period... it's like the invasion of Panama in 89 to have control of the Canal to avoid having their ships doing all Latina America from East to West.. they will use the Panama Canal! US is attacking China for chip of Taiwan

Do elaborate

I hope it take us into deep space so we can travel to other solar systems in reasonable time

@@trustandbelieve9173 Totally. But humanity should master fundamental control of the seas, skies, junk, oceans, climate, garbage, corruption, pollution, etc. before wandering to other planets.

I just saw like 6min of the video... is he blaming at least his country to attack China? Cause he is a weak RU-vidr always glorifying his country.....

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.

it's pathetic you would rather believe that one country can "steal" the top advanced technology from US and even get ahead instead of figuring how it works by its people. How one can get ahead if one only knows stealing??? it must be difficult for you to admit the fact that Chinese just can invent and develop some top advanced technologies like BUILDING SPACE STATION, nuclear weapons, 5G and quantum science and technology:P

The video completely ignores at what level other countries are on making chips.

@@Bothandle70 Well it was focusing on US and China. Do you have any info, or any sources you can point me to, for me to learn about other countries?

​@@thegrayyernaut I'd reccomend the book Chip Wars

P.s. I only listen to them because I can't watch them at work but trust me I will come back and watch them as I can see you spend time and creativity in video editing and visuals too

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.

@@corne1717 3D is already a thing about a decade now.

Agreed. I followed the news, and was aware of it, but this video summed all of it up nicely in such fantastic presentation. Not too many details but enough to understand the history and provide the context.

Yes, I knew 95% of what's in this (well, maybe not much about the deeper dive into the components of the chips) but it was great story telling with great use of visual tools.
