"Ive spent most of my life in Japan. I hold a U.S. passport but my identity is layered. Im proud to be American and equally proud to be part of Japan. Its an extraordinary country with world-class talent yet it remains chronically underestimated often even by Japanese themselves. History suggests thats a mistake. Japan has already pulled off two impossible rises. From isolation to great-power status in a single generation. Then again from post-war devastation to the G5 within thirty years. The last few decades were not collapse so much as stagnation. A slow boil rather than a shock. That"

"Japan represents the friend-shoring arbitrage. It is a US ally. It has a stable political system. It has a weak yen (making investment cheap). And unlike the US it has a workforce that culturally understands the rigors of semiconductor manufacturing. https://t.co/w32bddUPq5 https://t.co/w32bddUPq5"

"Japanese firms were vertically integrated giants or keiretsu. They made the chips the vacuum cleaners the nuclear power plants and the heavy machinery. When the market shifted from DRAM (a commodity manufacturing game) to Logic (a design and software game) in the 1990s Japan kept optimizing for manufacturing yield. They perfected the hardware while Silicon Valley (Intel) and Taiwan (TSMC) rewrote the software of the industry. The foundry model of separating design from manufacturing was heresy to the Japanese mindset. Why would you design something you didnt build As Chris Miller notes in"

"Today Japan holds a 50%+ global share in semiconductor materials. For specific high-end segments like EUV photoresists that share is near 100%. You cannot print a chip at TSMC without Shin-Etsu Chemical. You cannot coat a wafer without Tokyo Electron. You cannot cut a silicon ingot without Disco Corporation. Japan has an oligopolistic grip on these key areas. https://t.co/w32bddUPq5 https://t.co/w32bddUPq5"
