Massive problem in computer chip production

Robert Jordan

July 24, 2021

You probably won’t be able to guess what is one of the largest problems we are having due to Covid-19. Have you guessed? You won’t believe the answer, but yes, it’s computer chips. Trucks, cars, buses, airplanes, mobile phones, televisions, washers and dryers, refrigerators, and everything that uses computer chips. The problem is not enough workers to keep up with demand. From Taiwan, Hong Kong to Singapore, and even in the United States, the chip market is so discombobulated. Just trying to figure out how to fix the problem is of major concern, as China may ultimately take over the vast majority of production, hence threatening our security.
