Global Semiconductors: Supply at Risk?

Steve Odland sits down with Dr. Lori Esposito Murray, President of CED. They discuss the heightened tensions between Taiwan and China

Everything from our phones to our computers to our national security is dependent on semiconductors. Taiwan produces a majority of these sophisticated chips. What would a China-Taiwan conflict mean for the supply of semiconductors and how should businesses be thinking strategically about this possibility?

In this episode, The Conference Board President and CEO Steve Odland sits down with Dr. Lori Esposito Murray, President of the Committee for Economic Development, the public policy center of The Conference Board (CED). They discuss the heightened tensions between China and Taiwan in the wake of China’s recent military drills near Taiwan and the global economic impact of a supply shortage.

  • What would a China-Taiwan conflict mean for supply chains and the global economy?  
  • What are the economic risks to the West if semiconductor manufacturing were disrupted?  
  • Why should companies incorporate geostrategic risk challenges in their future threat assessments? 
  • Why are public and private sector partnerships essential to bolstering the nation’s semi-conductor strategy?
