Over recent months, all sides of the US ruling class have come together in an organised attempt to frustrate the growing strength of China. A central part of this strategy is crippling China’s ability to manufacture and sell microchips. Crucial to this is isolating Taiwan from mainland China; Taiwan is the world leader for production of the most advanced chips, manufacturing 92% globally, and is the number one source of China’s Integrated Circuit (IC) imports. Such high-end chips are becoming increasingly integral to ensuring military and technological supremacy in the modern world; something US international strategy prioritises heavily to maintain its current position as the world’s greatest imperialist force.
