Write an article about the concept of the Silicon Shield. The main idea is that the chip manufacturing in Taiwan is so critical to the world economy that other nations (especially the US) would likely join a conflict to prevent the foundries from either falling into Chinese hands or being destroyed. This fact is (according to the theory) enough to prevent China from attempting an invasion. It’s a preventative measure, hence “shield”
- I wonder if most people realize how important a company ASML is? They are literally the only company in the world that can make EUV photolithography tools. No EUV means no latest generation of microprocessors.
The common man only wants to know when will phones become cheaper. When China is allowed to purchase one of these, iirc they're currently barred from purchasing this generation and the last. This is pretty much solely to avoid them taking over the world economy. Hence the Silicon Shield
