We keep hearing about these chips and how we should do a war with China because of these chips. Even though the chips are largely now being made in America anyway.
And also…
RT:
The global hi-tech hardware powerhouse, Taiwan, has seen its export orders drop at a record pace amid shrinking demand on semiconductors, South China Morning Post reported this week, citing data from the country’s Ministry of Economic Affairs.
According to the SCMP report, Taiwan’s orders for overseas shipments in March fell by 25.7% against the same period last year, to $46.58 billion, logging a seventh consecutive month of decline. The March drop was also the sharpest since January 2009, when exports fell amid the global financial crisis at the time.
The country’s orders in March from mainland China and Hong Kong fell by 33.8% year on year, while those from Europe and the US dropped by 33.8% and 20.7%, respectively.
*Buffet dumped $4B stake in TSMC
*Core TSMC engineers and technology moved out of Taiwan
* Semiconductor market is flooded with oversupplied chipsWhat’s in for the economic future of Taiwan?

The decline in export orders was led by Taiwan’s consumer electronics sector. The Asian state is the globe’s largest producer of semiconductors, responsible for roughly 60% of the world’s chip supply, and its economy is predictably dependent on its hi-tech industry, with trade in computer chips and other hardware making up some 30% of gross domestic product (GDP). However, orders for consumer electronics in March dropped by 29.4% year on year, while those for information and communication products fell by 26.3%.
Analysts link the slump with the overall drop in demand for consumer electronics, such as PCs and mobile phones, after the Covid-19 pandemic, which saw global sales of these devices soar as people were forced to work from home due to lockdowns. According to market research firm IDC, smartphone shipments worldwide fell by 18.3% year on year in the fourth quarter of 2022, pushed by “significantly dampened consumer demand, inflation, and economic uncertainties.”
Well, it’s also just that you don’t need infinity amounts of these products.
You don’t need a phone any more than every 5 years. A laptop about the same. The video cards are now like, way too advanced to play any of the games that exist.
Also, the use of these chips in military technology is really exaggerated, and most military technology uses much older chips.
Just so you understand, this is the official narrative from the Jewnited Snakes:
The Chinese are going to take our chips from Taiwan, but this is about defending “democracy and freedom” just like in Ukraine…

Then like with everything else, you have an army of Jews everywhere pushing various forms of the initial narrative.
I think at first in defense of Taiwan. The immediate result is virtually no chips entering the US. China will play a lot of cyber warfare. North Korea is a wildcard. China is run by some really evil folks. Don’t underestimate them. https://t.co/1kTokluSwU

It’s obviously one of many different explanations for the need for war with the Chinese, because these people will just throw anything out there and see what sticks, but it is so obviously dumb that it’s just unbelievable that the media allows these people to go on and say this stuff without any pushback.
There is no reason that the US can’t be a net exporter of chips long before their planned war with the Chinese.
Bloomberg is now saying that the Taiwanese are begging the US to stop spamming this gibberish.
Taiwan is growing tired of US rhetoric:
In quiet conversations and back-channel warnings, Taiwanese officials have urged their US counterparts to tone down their rhetoric about dangers of relying on chips made by TSMC

This whole “we have to protect the chips” is just more stupid noise from the Democrats and neocons. Along with all this, if Beijing had full control of Taiwan, they wouldn’t stop selling the chips. The One Country, Two System plan for Taiwan, as it currently stands, would actually make it illegal for Beijing to tell Taiwan who they were allowed to sell chips to. But I guess that’s irrelevant because “China is evil so they just lie about everything” (even though they honored every single One Country, Two Systems obligation to Hong Kong up and until the US literally declared war on Hong Kong).
