Oh, yeah. No, and I didn't mean that to be a question of like, why didn't you do this or why did you leave this out? But it's more like that story... is comprehensible read at a certain level. Right? And then, and you gain a lot from the big broad sweeping history, but, um, Yeah, there's also all of this drama that sort of lies beneath the surface of that.

There's a confusion about China, and let me at least give you my opinion. The popular conception is that companies come to China because of low labor cost. I'm not sure what part of China they go to, but the truth is China stopped being the low labor cost country many years ago. The reason is because of the skill. And the quantity of skill in one location and the type of skill it is.
