Trolling for disgruntled chinese? Kimono is japanese!
Inch? didn't the world measure wafers in milimeters nowadays? so isn't it 300 mm or 11.81"?

I see eetimes.com says 300 mm and reuters says 12', so I'm assuming it's indeed 300 mm and reuters just doesn't want to tax the american/british minds too much.
