Episode notes
Controlling or blockading Taiwan is crucial for China to access sophisticated microchips, which are vital for military technology. Taiwan is the largest producer of such microchips globally, used in advanced military equipment like American F-35s and F-22s. Losing access to Taiwan’s microchips could result in the US falling behind technologically. China aims to pressure Taiwan into supplying microchips by influencing their government. Gaining access to Taiwan’s microchips would significantly enhance China's military capabilities and shift the balance of power. The significance of Taiwan in ensuring US military advantage lies in its role as a critical supplier of microchips, essential for maintaining military superiority in the chip war.
