Glad to see many fans of Asianometry.

I watched a few of their videos, but I felt like it was an anti-china propaganda outlet.

I'm def not a fan of the CCP, so I loved watching the videos, but I felt like I was getting brainwashed.

Does anyone know how valid/factual their videos are?

The video about the East German chip industry is well researched. Making the chip industry investments responsible alone for the collapse of the GDR is a bit click-baity (it was at most one contributing factor).

As factual and valid as you could hope for. I find his work very thorough.

Here's a video about China's Gallium & Germanium Export Controls:

I didn't find it anti-China, neither are his other videos in my opinion.

According to the transcript below Jon Y. is half Taiwanese/Hong Kong, make of that what you will.

Can you provide some examples of content you felt was anti-China propaganda / brainwashing?

If it matters, in an interview he had, he said he thought China would successfully... reunify with Taiwan if it tried, and iirc, that it would happen eventually.

I think a lot of people in the Asian geopolitical theater just really don't like China because they do a lot of crappy things.

This isn't quite the only fab in Dresden. GlobalFoundries (ex-AMD) even does 12nm manufacturing in the same city, at least according to Wikipedia. There are others too (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Saxony).

Now if we also get back some drug manufacturing we might even be ready for the 21st century

Love that channel, dude actually has researchers on the team to help him make good content.
