No chips - no AI, 5G, robots, surveillance. What not to like? I am all for it, forever!

It seems to me that we are in for an extended period of "things breaking down" with no way to fix them. Just another mechanism to create more chaos and make our society more dysfunctional.

I don't think they have their heads up their arses there in Taiwan. They must realize no help is coming from the USA or EU. There is some other reason they are stirring the pot. They probably have a better idea about what is happening inside of China than anyone else, and maybe now is the right time.

Even if you could move silicon fabs to the US and Europe overnight, it wouldn't solve anything. Power outages, even very brief, can impact chip supplies for weeks or months, and we're expecting brownouts and blackouts to become facts of life.
