The US and its allies are likely to secure a “commanding position” over China in the future global chip sector, where two separate supply chains are expected to take shape, according to a recent industry survey.
The survey found that nearly 80 per cent of the business leaders expected the global technology industry to split into “two separate supply chains to serve the respective US and mainland Chinese markets”.
Nearly 40 per cent of the surveyed executives said they planned to concentrate their resources on the US-aligned supply chain, while 15 per cent of respondents said they would prioritise the China-aligned one.
