Semiconductors or chips are tiny pieces of silicones that power almost every electronic device we use today. The strategic competition between the US and China has put pressure on the global supply chains of chips and turned chips production into another area of geopolitical contention. This article examines the geopolitics of semiconductors by explaining the nature of the global supply chains of semiconductors and analysing why chips have been at the centre of the US-China strategic competition.
