Just watching this now.
@samyalkenawi @zleap Here's a great book to put this into a historical but also current perspective:

A very interesting read.
@zleap @samyalkenawi The book partially overlaps with Queisser's book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13747807-the-conquest-of-the-microchip
Queisser was a pretty bigwig guy in German solid state physics, and his book (in the original Klingon titled "Crystal Crisis") served as a warning at the time (mid-80s) that Germany is not focusing on semiconductors enough. He held up Japan as a role model, which is ironic, because outside of DRAM, the Japanese did not succeed much in advanced integrated circuits. Smith's book covers that nicely.

It seems the main difference between China and the west is their ability to not only innovate, but also to create huge armies of techies, they seem to know how important certain industries are such as computing, hardware, quantum computing , space and are preparing their next generation en masse for this.
Meanwhile the US takes 15 attempts to decide on a speaker, and is not investing enough, the same for the UK and perhaps other countries. The UK is currently being crippled by endless strikes too.
The UK has sold off IP / industry to China and other countries so we are at the mercy of overseas owners, job cuts won't start in the country of the owners.
When is the west going to wake up and really start to invest in skills we need now and in the future, the Uk has over 100k vacancies for the NHS but the governmet are in denial and totally clueless.
The west can't afford to be left behind in the next tech revolution, the same for space, we need to be able to innovate and get to the Moon, mars and beyond in order to reap the long term rewards of this.
