That's why I say it's an art.

I don't think it can stop the Chinese semiconductor industry from progressing.

I think that's basically impossible.

So the question is, the Chinese government believes in the primacy of semiconductor manufacturing.

They've believed it for a long time, but now they really believe it, right?

You know, they're, you're, you're, uh, even if it was like, you know, even everyone's knows the number, right?

It's like a thousand steps, even if you're 99% for each, like 98 or 99%, like in the end, you'll still get a 40% yield overall.

Uh, scientific measure, dog shit percent.

Successes mean they stop.

They're not stopping.

Why do you think that culture comes from?

It is.

It is generally seen as an arm of the PLA.

But like...

How do you square that with the fact that sometimes the PLA seems to mess stuff up?

Oh, like filling water in rockets?

I don't know if that was true.

Even Chinese people don't know what's going on in China.

I just wonder where it comes from.
