The cost of semiconductors is skyrocketing, due to increased demand via the Covid plandemic, plus decreases in production, also due to that. This cost increase is naturally being passed on to other consumer products, almost everything in fact. Most of the chips of the West are made in South Korea and Taiwan, according to the ideology of globalisation. Thus, when China invades Taiwan, much of the West, including the military of the decaying United Stares, will be crippled. Anyone would think that there was a conspiracy here to create the Communist Chines New World Order! With the US dependent upon China for IT bits and pieces, it is really game over before it begins thanks to globalisation, and the corporates.
