Semiconductor chips can be found in almost every technology that is essential to modern life, from cars, to ventilators, to smartphones. No wonder then, that a shortage of these silicon wafers during the pandemic generated new anxieties and about how, and more importantly where, they are produced. Professor Henry Wai-Chung Yeung (National University of Singapore), author of Interconnected Worlds: Global Electronics and Production Networks in East Asia, joins us to discuss how firms from South Korea, Taiwan, and China integrated East Asia into the interconnected worlds of electronics production across the globe.
