Following their 2018 joint report on China's Influence & American Interests: Promoting Constructive Vigilance, Hoover and the Asia Society’s Center on US-China Relations partnered again in the fall of 2021 to create a working group on Semiconductors and the Security of the United States & Taiwan. The project examines the "strategic triangle” which has developed alongside the dynamic global supply chain in semiconductors—one in which US industry faces growing vulnerabilities, China aggressively promotes home-grown semiconductor mastery, and Taiwan finds itself with a crucial monopoly on high end logic chips sought by buyers globally. This multidisciplinary working group of technologists, economists, military strategists, industry players, and regional policy experts held dozens of roundtables and workshops over 18 months to track and contemplate this confluence. Led by Hoover fellows Larry Diamond and Adm. James Ellis (USN, Ret.), together with the Asia Society’s Orville Schell, the working group seeks to present a balanced view of how US and partner policies on semiconductors can increase resilience of shared supply chains—and contribute to deterrence of conflict in the Taiwan Strait.
