USA, CHINA AND TAIWAN, THE SEMICONDUCTOR’S TRIANGLE- THIAGO OF ARAGAO 

In today’s episode of Geopolitics: The Next Play, we will analyze the industry of semiconductors and their influence in geopolitics. The semiconductor chips are important components in the technological dispute between USA and China, reinforced by Taiwan’s role in this industry. The biggest maker of these in the world, the Taiwanese TSMC, a factory with more than half of the worldwide production of these chips. This means that there exists a very large dependency of the world in relation to Taiwan. The big problem here is that Taiwan and China are historical enemies and the island, which has the US as allies, is in constant alert regarding a possible Chinese occupation. If we look at this from another point, we realize that TSMC is an extra incentive for China to reattach Taiwan, as the Chinese wish to possess a technological independency, and suffers from a deficiency in the industry of semiconductors. On the other hand, the industry of Taiwanese chips is fuel for other countries to support the island’s independence. However, this support can signify the starting of a fight with China. Know now the unfolding of these matters in today’s video.
