Production

Taiwan, China, South Korea, and Japan are the top manufacturing country. They together hold almost 72% of global production capacity.

US sanctioned Chinese on semiconductors.  

This has paralyzed the Chinese manufacturing ability overnight. China now will struggle to get supply of high-tech AI chips and semiconductors from other countries. 

Why US sanctioned Chinese on semiconductors? 

Reason 1 To stop China’s progression on technology using semiconductor. China produces 15% of global semiconductors but uses three-quarters of semiconductors sold globally. 

Why US sanctioned Chinese on semiconductors? 

Reason 2 US wants to put a halt on Chinese military technology progression. They want to Keep advanced technology out of the wrong hand.
