Xiaomi says it can now fully charge a phone in eight minutes at 200W

It’s actually an interesting parallel to how high tech hardware worked 30-40 years ago. Back then you often had fundamental research coming out of the US and brought to market from Japan, as their manufacturing base somehow allowed for more efficient productization. Looks like it has shifted to Japan now being still strong in research, but the manufacturing base is now strongest in China. One thing that I think is so remarkable about Elon’s ventures is him showing that there’s nothing stopping you still to build mass manufacturing efficiently in the West.

No its not, I was trying to make a point, you could read the reply I gave on an another comment. Im not even related in any way to China.

I was trying to say, yes Koreans might be where this was created. But bringing out the product with an application is the context of this. Nobody said Xiaomi invented it. They bought out the tech with batteries, properly applied. They're not like just putting the battery inside a phone. It needs a lot of calibration and also hardware/ software improvements on phone to support it. Why would you thank Koreans for that? Its same as saying we need to thank Turks because Turkish immigrants sequenced the vaccine, sold by Pfizer.
