Chips in the crosshairs
Summary:
- The increasing use of economic sanctions coupled with the globalization of production of key goods and services has increased the security concerns around economic dependencies.
- For the global manufacturing of semiconductors (chips), their increasing criticality in modern economies have made them a focal point in tensions between Washington and Beijing.
- Spillovers from the Sino-US tensions on Dutch export policies highlight the challenges states face in navigating this new terrain.
- Mapping economic networks to identify those prone to weaponization will be a key exercise for states preparing for greater political turmoil at the international level.
