Quite a few of the older asianometry videos goes into the reasons why and so on. Down to specific people and teams iirc.

On the subject, I get lot of my information on the details and challenges regarding all the countries involved from this channel (Asianometry) for some years now: https://www.youtube.com/@Asianometry/videos He does a pretty objective job (and does some interesting analysis on other topics too...

Moved the semicondutor geopolitics chat to a better thread for it, one that @Bogeyman has diligently been updating a long while now: https://defencehub.live/threads/what%E2%80%99s-harder-to-find-than-microchips-the-equipment-that-makes-them.10680/ Folks, please keep this thread strictly for...

No, its not a dream for India or US (cutting out China out of world future). It will be a hedge, that is all. There is deep extensive economic relations between US-China-India in all directions even with political relations declining between China and the other two. There is no absolute to be...

Suez is at near full capacity, even with its ship size restriction. Its why the largest cargo ships (that offer the lowest shipping prices) already go around Africa instead. How a land corridor (rail and road) competes in the region for various tiers of goods that have more premium w.r.t...

Sorry but no one is going to invest in Basra port and the tenuous route through Iraq with its deep scars, extreme factional politics, strife and instability and Iran overlooking and involving itself like it does all along it (KSA and UAE definitely will not). You either go directly through Iran...

I call it as I see it, the tone is literally the most neutral one given the circumstances long discussed with Turkish members in various threads over time....who have taken tones far far harsher on the Erdogan admin than I ever would desire to. Turkish GDP by its own estimate in 2020 - 2025 is...
