Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang, who runs the semiconductor industry’s most valuable company, said the US is as much as 20 years away from breaking its dependence on overseas chipmaking.
Yes I’m well aware. I’m not blaming the Americans at all. They’re just being smart and trying to prepare. China are being major motherfuckers about it all.
Not trying to pile on here, but I think you’re also forgetting that the international supply chain hiccups caused by COVID were a major impetus for the US to increase domestic production capacity. Entire sectors of the economy, like the auto industry, were brought to a standstill waiting on chips to be imported.
Yes but supply chain disruption applied to virtually everything, yet we don’t see the US seeking to become entirely vertically integrated for every good and resource. Supply chain disruptions of pandemic magnitude would also disrupt US production, anyway. So I don’t know if your observation really adds anything. No, the US is spinning up chip foundries because of what is happening between China and Taiwan, which is fueled by bald Chinese imperialism and old scores that the CCP wants to settle with the PRC. It’s humans being assholes at the highest level.
