The U.S., Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are on a mission to restructure the global chip supply chain. The proposed “Chip 4 Alliance” wants to internalize all parts of the semiconductor business—research and development, design, manufacturing, packaging, sales and consumption—in-house. This chip clique will only reach outside the circle in strictly controlled circumstances.

But the Chip 4 Alliance raises a critical and complicated question: Can countries control production and manage trade for a product defined by innovation and competition?

If they can, we’re looking at something very new: an OPEC-style cartel for the digital age.

No chips for you. Lets see how long your country's economy lasts after the supply is totally cut off. Which I say we cut them all of permanently , and crash their economies. Not to mention those weapon systems dont work real well without those chips.
 
An interesting idea. Would just be better if America had the ability to make the top shelf chips in the world, then we wouldn’t have to rely on any foreign nation.
Integrated circuits invented here, MFG started here. Ended up Outsourced for cheaper costs. Asia took over a lot of Wafer Fab manufacture. Just like TV displays.

Now add on DEI requirements in the USA we lose more.

I think they are more focused on the security issues involved with having your military infrastructure dependent upon manufacturing in "enemy" countries.

This is to cut China out of the loop and ensure they don't hold us hostage.
