There's clearly a global recognition that we need to build up semiconductor supply chain capabilities, particularly in the U.S., Europe and Japan. There's a recognition that over-reliance on Taiwan is neither economically wise nor prudent from a national security standpoint. The reality is the war in Ukraine, while it has nothing to do with chips in Taiwan, has reminded everybody — as COVID did — that supply chains need to be robust.
