The U.S. and Silicon Valley may be running out of time to deal with Taiwan

# Why Taiwan's Tech Industry Matters to Your Daily Life Taiwan manufactures about 90 percent of the world's advanced computer chips—the tiny components that power everything from iPhones to AI systems—and no other country can currently replace it. If China were to take military action against Taiwan, the global supply of these chips could stop overnight, crippling industries far beyond tech, including cars, healthcare, and finance. The U.S. and tech companies are running out of time to prepare for this risk or build alternative manufacturing capacity elsewhere.
