TEMA  : Taiwan pulverized: CHIPX by Turing Quantum (Re: British writer Arthur C. Clarke)
---------------------------------------------
Hi,

Seems the taiwan silicon shield just got pulverized,
the definition was as follows:

"The term “silicon shield”  emanates from Taiwan’s
ability to resist the Chinese threat owing to its
unique technological know-how and integration into
global supply chains. According to the silicon shield
theory, the protective function of the Taiwanese
semiconductor industry is two-fold: (1) China may
not want to invade Taiwan since a conflict would
disrupt its semiconductor imports on which it is
largely dependent; (2) semiconductors are a matter
of U.S. national security, making an American
intervention in case of cross-strait conflict more
likely since the U.S. is also dependent on Taiwanese chips."

How it started:

Integrated photonic neuromorphic computing

How its going:

China’s New Photonic Quantum Chip

What is the USA response, Intels Loihi ?

Bye
