It feels like the world is currently facing conflict and war on all sides. One conflict that has been unresolved for years and has been simmering for years is the China-Taiwan conflict. China claims the right to Taiwan, while Taiwan sees itself as an independent sovereign state. Taiwan has a special position worldwide, because without Taiwan there would be no highly developed processors. A war with Taiwan could restrict access to high technology for years to come.
Now information has leaked out that there is a kill switch, an emergency shutdown of the EVU lithography machines that produce the chips on the wafers.
