Main text translation
Japan was once one of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturing countries. However, in just a few years, it would be surpassed by its neighbors.

@AmairaNymativy-uy7vfWhy Japan’s Semiconductor Industry Failed: US won’t allow Japan to dominate semiconductor industry.
@Baz.007I see, Uncle Sam treats friends and foes alike. No discrimination.
@marcussver620Because of the US sanctions, because they had a huge potential, that’s what China doesn’t want from depending on the US/Taiwan chips by building their own chip.
@usernegitamanegiJapan lost the war to America and is still under their rule. Of course, there were good things, but they were never allowed to surpass America.
@zakariah_altibiNext episode: how America killed the German automobile industry
@engin-oz9iuJapan is under occupation but they don’t recognize it.
@theafricanoracle4477You fail to understand that photo resin used for chip production is solely made in Japan. No one country can manufacture a full working chip on its own.
@gfan003Japan was leading the microchip race in the 1970s before the US sanctioned Japan with unfair trade agreements to limit their High Tech products and forcing Japan to build factories in the US while charging hefty costs. Toshiba, the leader in microchip manufacturing, was targeted by the US and its General manager was arrested to force Tech transfer. The same thing also happened to France in the Energy sector. The US is now trying to do the same to China but failed as the Chinese government stepped in and protected local companies which both Japan and the French government cowered.
@JosephLee2012I remembered when I was a kid that Japan was like a god as an economic power. Now, Japan could not compete with South Korea.
@suryatobingWhen the master sees his slave starting to try to threaten his position, sanctions immediately come to remind him who the master is.
@SamsonOhsemAsia’s people are very hardworking.
@plotouranius6154I always use NEC desktop PC from Japan because it is cheap and High Quality and it lasts long even when I am using it in a welding shop where electricity is connected to a welding machine running every day. HP Desktop PC did not last long even though it is faster and has a bigger power source connected to AVR and UPS. Only NEC has the special Technology device for Current filter in the power Supply.
@mrmateph729Remember Toshiba in the 80s? The pirate Murika took it from them free of charge…
@yumenokoyumeJapan should rise up again. I think one of their problems is lack of young manpower and they’re stuck with old people running everything. With today’s standards, old ways don’t always equal good. Most of the time we need to start from the ground up to make something new.
@manigoyal4872America never learned and did the same thing with China.
@sirajsid7760CMOS technology transfer to the US is also one of the reasons for Japan’s setback. The US developed further CMOS technology and it was helpful for its processor development. This was eventually captured all the chip market in the world. Japan did not put much effort into designing CPU for computers and also its software.
@aimanhafiz4621To protect the USA market decided to tariff speaking freedom market.
@entertainmentjoke2871Because the USA wants Japan to fail.
@franciscogerardohernandezr4788As a young hobbyist, I attempted to get into Renesas MCUs and attended a “training course”. Their tools were subpar to Freescale, more expensive and trainers had a bit of an uptight attitude. Then Arduino and ARM came, kicking everyone’s ass.
@goldeneaglepower9845It really depends on what kind of chips we are talking about. There are some of them where Japan still holds the keys. It is not always about the US. In some of the areas Japanese companies didn’t put an effort into R&D in that field.
@MinhNguyen-es5ozBecause America doesn’t want to be embarrassed on every aspect of development.
