Chip and technology war: US, China, and the conflict for the world semiconductor supremacy

This is an excellent depiction of the long-running war between the United States and China over control of microchip technology, which has become the world's most important resource.

You might be astonished to learn that the modern world depends on microchips, which are a limited supply. Power in the military, economy, and world politics today is based on computer chips. Almost everything, including cars, smartphones, the stock market, and even the electric grid, runs on chips, from microwaves to missiles. Up until recently, America led the world in chip design and production, maintaining its position as the top superpower. However, as manufacturers in Taiwan, Korea, and Europe might take over, America's manufacturing advantage is in jeopardy. As the Chip and technology War demonstrates, China is currently investing billions of dollars in a chip-building push to catch up to the US. China spends more money on chips than any other product.

This book shows how the semiconductor came to play a significant role in modern life and how the United States is the world's leader in chip design and manufacturing, which it then applied to technological uses. However, China is catching up in this area as well through her plans to develop chips and modernize its technology source at the same time. America has allowed crucial elements of the chip-making process to escape its control, contributing to both a global chip scarcity and a new tech War with a superpower adversary that is eager to close the gap.

Chip and technology War are enlightening, topical, and fascinating as it demonstrates that we must first comprehend the crucial function that chips play to make sense of the current condition of politics, economics, and technology of the world.
