The west had literally DECADES to build up a stronger silicon-industry, and all the money and brainpower to do so.

Problem is, if spending for education and public investments in "future" technology stagnates, well...

You might want to read the article.

Whoops, my bad.

Thanks for pointing it out, this brightened my day :D

To be fair, this was pretty dirty from the BBC. In a good way at least. And who is to say that silicon fries aren't tasty as well.

I cringe when I read that they will resort to flying french fries from Canada to Japan.

Shame on you McDonald’s from an environmental standpoint.

A shame is how agriculture in Japan isn't cost competitive compared to America.
