Long NYT article: The Looming Taiwan Chip Disaster That Silicon Valley Has Long Ignored
https://archive.ph/HI3cr
'If China invades Taiwan and cuts off its chip exports to American companies, the tech industry and the U.S. economy would be crippled... A confidential report commissioned in 2022 by the Semiconductor Industry Association for its members, which include the largest U.S. chip companies, said cutting the supply of chips from Taiwan would lead to the largest economic crisis since the Great Depression. U.S. economic output would plunge 11 percent, twice as much as the 2008 recession. The collapse would be even more severe for China, which would experience a 16 percent decline.'
