Scott Bessent: The single biggest threat to the world economy is that 97% of advanced chips are made in Taiwan

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent identified Taiwan's overwhelming control of advanced semiconductor production as the gravest danger facing the global economy, warning Tuesday that any disruption would trigger catastrophic consequences.

"I would say that the single biggest threat to the world economy, the single biggest point of single failure, is that 97% of the high-end chips are made in Taiwan," Bessent told the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

He described a potential blockade or destruction of the island's manufacturing capacity as an "economic apocalypse," emphasizing Washington's efforts to relocate semiconductor production to American soil.

 
We got Trump taking out country leadership and looking to take over another.

Seems Xi is within his rights to take over the rouge Island and have control over the world’s silicon to negotiate some terms

Weird. I thought the greatest threat to the world economy was conceited politicians shutting down global production because they thought it would stop the spread of a virus. It only took about five years for supply chains to recover to about 87% of pre Covid efficiency. But what do I know, I'm not a narcissistic blowhard.
