The Global Semiconductor Supply Chain: A Key Point of Concentration Advanced semiconductors—critical for smartphones, computers, AI systems, vehicles, and medical devices—are overwhelmingly produced in one location. Recent statements from U.S. Treasury officials highlight that approximately 97% of the world's most advanced chips come from Taiwan. A potential disruption, such as a blockade, could create widespread economic challenges across industries worldwide due to this heavy geographic concen
