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.
