America vs China: the Chip War

A new world order is taking shape before our eyes. The Covid-19 pandemic showed the extent to which great powers are dependent on strategic products. The persistent shortage of semiconductors, essential to our daily lives, is reshaping geopolitical relations, fuelling inflation and increasing tensions between America and China.
It is estimated that 10 million cars worldwide were not produced in 2021 because manufacturers did not have enough semiconductors. From the computer to the toaster via our tablets and our refrigerators, microprocessors or semiconductors equip all our daily devices. They are of national strategic importance powering all advanced military and civilian technologies. Yet while demand for the quantity and quality of semiconductors has been growing, the amount of places they are produced has been shrinking. Only a few countries have the specialised knowledge and ability to produce cutting-edge chips with 63% of all chips produced in Taiwan.
That one island, which is already on the frontline of a superpower struggle between the US and China, dominates production means that the world’s economies are dependent on the stability of Taiwan. So what can be done to secure microprocessors? And how is the battle for semiconductors already affecting our daily lives?

My money on china.. Us doesnt have a chip maker.. they have a partner who makes chips. 😂😂😂

[@jdn42y11]

They get EVERYTHING Pennie’s on the dollar. US bandits

[@robertking3090]

We have Intel, and now Samsung and TSMC building plants here. Our R&D that designs the chips combined with more manufacturers will put us at the top. China still has trouble making older gen silicon. The way their economy and society is laid out does not allow for efficient research and development. Even if they take Taiwan, that doesn't mean they will take TSMC expertise with it. i would put my money on the proven horse.

[@kamikazinyc]

Let's see, TSMC still haven't got their comp from US government, Intel is about to go bankrupt , Samsung has pulled out of China due to can't compete... meanwhile China has its own brand new space station without any help(thanks to US), ISS is about to go out of service by 2030 with multiple leaks...

⁠@@robertking3090" China still has trouble making...." 😂 LOL tell me you get news from Fox news or CNN 😂 there is a reason Chinese EVs are banned in the US, because US companies can't compete. That's all you need to know who is superior and who's insecure

[@gfan003]

Lol this documentary didn't explain anything. At least start with the history of semiconductors and then move onto the fall of Japan's semiconductor industry after US start a trade war, then the rise of S Korea and Taiwan's semiconductor industry; and Finally How China became self sufficient in semiconductors after US sanctions. China used to buy about 70% of all semiconductors But now are buying less than 20%, majority of the companies That sold semiconductors were US ones and That the government incentives wouldn't cover the revenue lost hence the big Tech lay off happening right now, US worker's Union would also be in the way of US producing cheap semiconductors which make US unable to compete on global stage. The result is chip war was a irreversible mistake That pushed China into market dominance.

[@TheLeftRbabieskillers]

Yeah, I thought this documentary was 2 years old, and put together by a high schooler.

[@celine_2084]

bro, you say all the things i want to say after see this lmao

[@evereachyu]

The documentation is misleading. It only stated that Taiwan semiconductor represents 30% of the world total productions. It sounded that Taiwan is so significant to the world. But it failed to mention that Taiwan total GDP was 30% plus of the Mainland's in 1990's. Just in short 30 years, Taiwan only counts 4% of the Mainland China's GDP. It is going to be a less and less significant factor to counter China. Let's put this way: Taiwan does not have s chance, with or without the US, winning a war against China.

[@bin.s.s.]

It is well known that we Chinese people do not want to go to war, hot wars or "chip wars", with anyone anywhere. Let's business be business. But if you all push Taiwan, TSMC included, to much forwards, too much that we have to defend our own front door, then everything in Taiwan becomes a good puch bag to break. That's commonplace, is it not.

Taiwan won't the leader forever and the mainland has tons of new talents, financial strength and its massive market. The world largest in fact and not even US could challenge China without destroying itself terribly in the process despite our conventional media are painting the pictures for the general public across the globe. Just ask Taiwan to completely detact from the mainland which is enjoying the largest surplus than any countries in the world. Moreover, it's just a part of China but governed independently.

[@laughingkor8643]

1:15 It is not just "the differential in labor costs". It is the quality of labor which the US does not have. Highly skilled labors have to be imported from Taiwan and S Korea have to be imported to help Samsung and TSMC build their semi-conductor factories in the US. The same is true for Canada. Samsung has to import more than 900 highly skilled engineers from S. Korea to help Canada build a EV lithium battery plant in Ontario, Canada. North America has fallen so far behind in technology that they don't even know they are at a few generations behind in the semi-conductor industry. You cannot force kids in kindergarten to take a first year college course. This is not going to work!

To add, if Apple and US companies are going to buy these expensive chips, what will be the final prices? Competitive? And we are talking about 5nm chips and lower, which makes up only 10 per cent of the chip market? What about the matured nodes that are used in 90 per cent if the electronic devices?

I've seen a podcast where the host interview with a US military officier based in pacific, he is already saying chip is not the main focus when discussing US vs China geopolitics analysis, it is misleading by focusing too small and lose the big picture of two country's politics and interests. This documentary's editting is bad from pure quality by making no point only dumping scattered every single information they have collected online. Some shot are nice and filter is artistic, but it is not a good documentary i would say. It didn't explain anything.

[@ahchoooo]

The key is the people, not the factory facilities. TSMC can build a factory in Arizona, but the local Americans can't produce as well as the Chinese. So, guess who will win in the future? 🤣 Besides, China never wants to exclude anyone in their trade. If the U.S. does not embargo China, China is more than willing for the U.S. to dominate and earn all the money in this field. Also, I am quite sure that if and when China decides to take over Taiwan, China will guarantee the supply of chips to the world, instead of trying to use it against the world.

[@omarie4995]

I am happy to hear Trump wants 100 % tax on all BRICS countries, especially China. After Japan in the past, today China has all characters and reasons to occupy South East Asia. Taiwan is forced to work with Biden by investing in USA. But Taiwanese are more than smart in the SM industry. No way other countries can match them.
