SLAC Colloquium - "Silicon Triangle: The US, Taiwan, China, and Global Semiconductor Security" by Larry Diamond, Stanford University

Larry Diamond, Stanford University

-

This colloquium will present and discuss some of the key findings from the recent Hoover Institution-Asia Society report on how to secure the global trade in semiconductors. It will address the current strategic environment surrounding the global trade in semiconductors, and how it interacts with the trends of deepening tension between China and Taiwan, and between the US and China. The presentation will consider: how the US can mitigate the risks of semiconductor supply chain disruption, and whether and how it can regain competitiveness in semiconductor manufacturing; how greater security in global semiconductor supply chains can be pursued in a way that preserves Taiwan's economic security and its democracy; the implications of China's pursuit of a position of global leadership in semiconductors, and how the world's democracies should manage this competition with China.
