Vietnam is rising. One of my friends just put $100m in a plant there. They built it in 6 months. Like China does. Smart, hard working people. Vietnam will be a mini-China circa 2015. Won’t lead on tech like China but will become a massive exporter powerhouse. Will be interesting in local SE Asia politics as Vietnam becomes a regional superpower.

@FistedFoucault I wouldn’t be surprised if it were revealed that this guy is a Pentagon-sponsored psyop focused on propagating that multipolaretard slop.

@n30n5223434 Though I'm skeptical about Canada being included, their manufacturing base is mostly adjacent to American MNCs.
English
@n30n5223434 Any "industrial cores" map that doesn't include California is to be disregarded
English
This is also a map bad like the map in OP but it's more like this IMO.

It’s wild how the world basically runs on nothing but this.

@WDLD0712 @Brokenoaths_ I agree with you that Malaysia has been an underachiever given its first mover advantage.
My only grudge is when you stated that their chip industry is just rentier assembly; correct on paper, but outdated, OSAT has evolved significantly in value adding per worker and scale.
English
@heaeolik @Brokenoaths_ Vietnam only started seriously industrialising in the 21st century
Malaysia has been assembling semiconductors for Intel for over 50 years, which is longer than China and South Korea
It’s even more damning when you look at it this way
English
Copium.
This is for senior executive roles, not general sectoral real wage increase for IT workers.
Also, the Yen has depreciated significantly against USD since the end of Covid, which closed the gap downwards towards Ringgit salaries.
Japan is in the process of reshoring its full-stack chip industry from building lithography machines to chips fabs, whilst Malaysia is still a rentier goystate for foreign chip companies incapable of the above.
Nikkei Asia@NikkeiAsia
Malaysia has overtaken Japan in salaries for key technology roles for the first time, driven by rising investment in the booming semiconductor industry and intensifying competition in digital sectors. s.nikkei.com/40D2o4E

@WDLD0712 @Brokenoaths_ Vietnam is even more hollowed out than Malaysia when it comes to indigenous IP.
English
I wouldn’t generalise all of SE Asia, since Vietnam is rapidly industrialising right now. Also, Malaysia has industrialised to a fair degree.
But Malaysia doesn’t have what it takes to scrape and thieve IP to indigenise their industrial production, which is what the East Asians did.
They’re forever stuck as rentier assembly goys. They’re FDIcels.

@AlboranNomad @Covenant_watch All correct, except for the Nigeria/Algeria part, at least according to quantifiable data.

@Covenant_watch No matter what happens, always bet on the makhzen fumbling opportunities at the absolute worst possible moment. Where will they get the amonnium from ? Algerians will likely press Nigeria to delay the planned ammonium exports in some way.
English
Malaysia's urbanization rate is actually closer to Japan and South Korea than Thailand, which surprised me.
OK Then@okaythenfuture
People really don't seem to understand that Malaysia is basically a first world economies at this point. Salaries are even higher there for most tech roles than in London + most European cities now. Especially around Penang, which is very notable given its not the main economic engine of the country but is a huge semiconductor/engineering hub, and around Johor, which is Southeast Asia's data hub. The world has transformed massively in the past generation. The Malaysian Century.
English
@AlboranNomad Accurate analogy, though I don't think the Algerian regime can survive/handle a trade liberalization properly, plus, I'm not sure they are interested in this process to begin with, the most likely timeline for their future is a LatAm style stagnation.
English
Algeria resembles the state-led investment model of Kemalist Turkey, which provided the ideal base for Anatolian entrepreneurs to pursue their export ventures after liberalization under Özal.
English
Algeria eased foreign investment regulations in 2022 to allow full foreign ownership in non-strategic sectors, and they are set to gain massive leverage because of the Epstein war. I predict that they will be capable of actual technology transfers alongside increased FDI.

@n30n5223434 Not just communists tbh, large segments of "moderate" leftists and social dems in the west also degenerated into this.
English
@AlboranNomad The only places where this ethnonationalism had some grassroots elements were perhaps Lebanon and certain ethnocultural enclaves in NAfri, but for the vast majority of current regime nationalisms, it has been largely engineered by governments due to the trauma of the Arab Spring.
English
There is no zionist propaganda in the MENA but MENA governments have adopted Zionist methods to emphasize nationalist and ethno-nationalist narratives against the muslim brotherhood and broad Ummah sentiment to stay in power. Any vaguely universalist ideology is a threat.
English
@AlboranNomad The most impacted region by this situation is Emerging Asia, though Europoors are not far away too.
English
It happened mere hours after publishing this. Things will be really, really bad. Europoors stand by, completely paralyzed, and surge to the imperial capital to secure favors instead of formulating a coherent answer to the depression to come.
English
@AlboranNomad Saw some footage of the bombing in Tehran, it's significantly concentrated around northern areas, where most state HQ and officials live, but also a large chunk of the libtard upper class Tehranis, think of it as Hydra in Algiers or Souissi/Riad in Rabat.
English
By the end of this war, Israel may have killed a significant number of secular, liberal Iranians, who predominantly live in Tehran. Oh, the irony.
English
@GermaniaZongdu Not just Iranians tbh, large portions of "developing" world societies are pushing into this, though Iranians pushed it to the extreme end of the spectrum.
English
If the Iranian gov't stays in place after this round of attacks, they win.
English
@n30n5223434 @pashadelics Extreme focus on MIC at the expense of civilian industry echoes France in the 60s/70s. Today, France boasts one of the most vertically integrated MICs in the world, while its conventional industries have become narrower and hollowed out, not sure Turkey can pull this off too tbh.
English
@heaeolik @pashadelics Yeah I have long been aware (and afraid) of MIC getting the bulk of the attention while the civilian industry is neglected, at least ostensibly. Which is why I'm waiting for the 2030s to assess whether all the R&D $ was spent on MIC.
English
The funny thing is that Turkiye is clearly the only real safe haven in the Middle East but unlike the Gulf has been completely unable to capitalise on this economically and financially because they can’t work out their political economy.
English
@n30n5223434 The only places with a possible year-round best weather range that you listed are coastal Southern Cali and the Australian Gold Coast.
English
@n30n5223434 @pashadelics Economic policies remain too broad and erratic, IMO. There isn’t the same laser-focused specialization and capital allocation seen with the East Asian tigers; the only exception may be the MIC.
English
@pashadelics I think what you're saying is true though. Turkey has been a politically very unstable country after 1960. But things have significantly calmed down in the last 8 years.
English
@AlboranNomad @Brokenoaths_ I'm a dinosaur, I don't understand this world; the fassi Rbati ZOG and their acolytes are working tirelessly to transform the seat of their historical nemesis into the Little Saint James of the Maghreb.
English
@Brokenoaths_ @heaeolik always reminds me of the blessings they bestowed on us by fighting the very parasites we still have to deal with today. If only their predecessors had been just as strong.
