Well you know, in case of war or other stand-offs, China could withold critical pieces of the chip supply chain forcing the other country to cave to their pressure.

You know, like how Russia used natural gas and oil on Europe, but applied to Chip supply chain.

Chips are critical to every single nation’s security and the recent war basically made everyone aware of how bad its to have all your eggs in a single basket.

That would make sense if Russia was the one that cut off the oil and gas.

Europe and US did that to themselves, they wielded the Almighty sanctions card.

If anything, to your example, the rest of the world has been reliable in delivering to the contract. The West on the other hand have shown how schizophrenic they can be, and rely on their media to blame the other party for their self-inflicted pain.
