Shaing Yi-Chaing and Liang Mong-Song have some serious beef from the past and they disagreed about SMIC’s direction. Liang made SMIC choose and SMIC chose Liang.
I certainly don't know enough of the politics of what happened to judge any side of the SMIC question.
Shaing Yi-Chaing's accomplishments in copper interconnects alone deserve awe; he was ahead of IBM, and he did it on instinct/"the school of hard knocks."

In the competing question of alliance of nations, we have no quarrel.
We seek to ensure the prosperity of our peoples, you in your way, we in ours.
Your sovereignty is not in question.

Your flaw is confusion of coercion for enticement.
If you intend to entice, then offer greater reward, and less punishment, in all things.
That is your chief flaw. The punishment is too much. I understand why.

I feel great regret that we did not extend our "Marshall Plan" to your most deserving nations in their need.
That was unfair, and unwise in the extreme.

On the other hand, why is it so difficult to convince anyone of how good our lives are now, and how much we don't want to spoil it?
Is this so unreasonable?

More astonishing is the work ethic, and the institutional memory that prevented future mistakes from the learning of past errors.
