America has maintained its lead as a superpower\nbecause it has dominated advances in computer chips and all the technology that\nchips have enabled. (Virtually \u003ci\u003eeverything \u003c\/i\u003eruns on chips: cars,\nphones, the stock market, even the electric grid.) Now that edge is in danger\nof slipping, undermined by the naïve assumption that globalising the chip\nindustry and letting players in Taiwan, Korea and Europe take over\nmanufacturing serves America's interests. Currently, as \u003ci\u003eChip War\u003c\/i\u003e reveals,\nChina, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions\ninto a chip-building Manhattan Project to catch up to the US. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn \u003ci\u003eChip War \u003c\/i\u003eeconomic historian Chris Miller recounts the\nfascinating sequence of events that led to the United States perfecting chip\ndesign, and how faster chips helped defeat the Soviet Union (by rendering the\nRussians’ arsenal of precision-guided weapons obsolete). The battle to control\nthis industry will shape our future. China spends more money importing\nchips than buying oil, and they are China's greatest external vulnerability as\nthey are fundamentally reliant on foreign chips. But with 37 per cent of the\nglobal supply of chips being made in Taiwan, within easy range of Chinese\nmissiles, the West's fear is that a solution may be close at hand.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:\"Calibri\",sans-serif;\nmso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:\nminor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";\nmso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-SG;mso-fareast-language:\nEN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA'\u003eChris Miller\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style='font-size:\n12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:\"Calibri\",sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:\nminor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;\nmso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";\nmso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-SG;mso-fareast-language:\nEN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA'\u003e is Assistant Professor of International History\nat the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
