China aspires to develop world-class capability in the designing, engineering and producing semiconductors. But as Chairman Mao liked to say: "The road ahead is bright but full of twists and turns, setbacks and adversities." Kevin shares the story of what he calls the "Theranos of China's Chip Industry" - how three clever con artists with zero experience in chips crafted a deal that resulted in $2 billion gone sideways. Kevin also talks about how Tesla might contribute to China's chip drive by doing original engineering for autonomous technologies inside China, thereby sidestepping tough US technology export controls. How will that work out?
