I like this, thanks. Reminds me of the plotline from the novel “Shogun,” where Toranaga has Anjin construct a ship jsut so he can burn it as a bargaining concession with the Portuguese.

I find it extremely unlikely that Samsung is interested in being a mere manufacturer. In fact, the entire economic development of East Asia has been a decades long story about starting as small, cheap manufacturers and moving up the value chain into global brands.

Samsung is not quite-there yet, but I find it silly to suggest they'll suddenly stop and start regressing.

Great, thanks for the spoiler. I was just about to finish that tome. :/

Don't forget the sacrifice of the queen (Mariko) as well!
