Abstract

Supply chains in the semiconductor sector as a whole are notoriously difficult to navigate. As a consequence of this, natural disasters have the ability to do a great deal of harm (pandemic lockdowns, or a factory fire). When it comes to the political pressure, it is not hard to see how this situation is comparable to a usual standoff in Mexico. Every single one of these departments and the businesses that operate inside them are dependent on one another as customers and suppliers. In theory, almost anyone may create a problem in the system for themselves. Companies that have employees or products that are extremely difficult to replace have a competitive edge and are worth more. As a result of the Huawei event, the United States is now in possession of the majority of the valuable assets that cannot be replaced. China does not now engage in any of the crucial high-value regions, and it does not have any major controls that are difficult to replicate in the semiconductor value chain segments that are considered to be essential to the industry. Their susceptibility is glaringly clear. Because of this, they might be hazardous. (Calhoun, 2021).
