"because East Asia devolves into a war stricken basket case"
The past decade of American media has been promoting this new cold war narrative as if there is inevitably going to be a major war with China.
If there is war in East Asia then the whole international economic system will collapse, people will be starving in the streets. That's if it's not a nuclear Armageddon and we're left to rubbing two sticks together. Nobody will care about chips if there is a war. That will be really far down the list of actual concerns
The world is so interconnected and everyone depends on everyone so much that there is basically no point in planning for this scenario
