Lee Kuan Yew explicitly stated that he was a “social Darwinist” means some human societies are inherently either more or less capable than others and he also had high hopes from Indians
Just so everyone is clear, the gripe here is that China is destroying the profits of the western bourgeoisie, because they are forced to make their products cheaper to compete with Chinese competitors.
This is the central argument of 100% of all western economic analysis of China. The more affordable China's products, the more it destroys their monopolies and their profit margins.
As always, the purpose of such propagandists, as well as their "elected" governments, is to make the interests of the bourgeoisie appear like the national interests of their respective countries. It's the first rule of bourgeois economics: What's good for the bourgeoisie is good for the proletariat.
India recruited him to build a semiconductor company from scratch. A year later, he's back in a chip cluster.
K.C. Ang was appointed president and head of Tata Semiconductor Manufacturing, a flagship bet in India's push to become a serious fab nation. Then he quit after just one year. He's now CEO of Zen-Semi in Guangzhou, China.
You can read this as a corporate drama. Or you can read it as a lesson in economic geography.
Building semiconductors outside of established clusters is brutally hard. You don't just need capital and equipment. You need thousands of specialized engineers within commuting distance. You need suppliers who can deliver ultra-pure chemicals overnight. You need an ecosystem that has spent decades making mistakes and quietly fixing them.
Look at Taiwan. TSMC didn't happen because of one visionary or one government policy. It happened because an entire island spent 40 years building a dense web of fabs, suppliers, packaging houses, materials companies, and engineering talent all within a small geography. When something breaks at 2 am, someone who knows how to fix it is 20 minutes away. That's not replicable by writing a check.
The US is learning this the hard way, spending hundreds of billions to bootstrap clusters in Arizona and Ohio, and still watching timelines slip. Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai -- China built its clusters with state money, talent pipelines, and two decades of patience.
India has ambition. And ambition matters. But ambition doesn't replace the engineer who's spent 30 years troubleshooting fab yields and wants to work near people who speak his technical language.
When a senior exec leaves a greenfield fab project for an established cluster, it's rarely just about salary. It's about wanting to actually ship chips.
This is the broader story about who will win or lose the AI race.

These things really undermine my trust in democracy. On paper, Japan should be a model one: >100 avg IQ, conscientious homogenous people, prosperity. But they're so eager to be brainwashed.
VIDEO | Delhi: Investigative journalist Saurav Das, who is serving as chief spokesperson of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) addressing a press conference says, "Abhijeet Dipke will land in Delhi on June 6 morning at 8 AM. He has called upon his supporters to come to the airport and receive him, and all of them, along with Wangchuk ji, to come to Parliament Street with him and seek permission for a protest at Jantar Mantar. We invite everyone from all political parties to be part of the protest."

China is carrying out massive investment to improve the economy in Western China - which is historically poorer than other parts of the country. Instead of seeing this as a welcome move to increase regional equality, the Financial Times portrays it as oppression. Truly now, under Japan owners, the paper’s anti-China coverage has become grotesque. See below
Imagine in 1988, Hindu and Sikhs n Muslims used to get together, drink wine n hate on Wahhabis:
“Listen my cupbearer, Im a worshiper of unity, Im a drunk, whatever you wish give it to me, give me the key to the tavern, Listen my cupbearer, I am not a Wahabi.”
No debate. No contest. Just capacity.
China🇨🇳 will be the world’s ONLY space superpower. Industry 3× US. Capacity 100× in key sectors.
Even Musk agrees. Deal with it, America.🇺🇸
