When the fuck are people going to wake up to the China threat? They
make damn-near *everything* for us. When, NOT IF, they blockade or
overtake Taiwan, where almost all the advanced chips are being made,
we'll know a new level of shortages.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIPS_and_Science_Act
The CHIPS and Science Act is a U.S. federal statute enacted by the 117th
United States Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden on August
9, 2022. The act authorizes roughly $280 billion in new funding to boost
domestic research and manufacturing of semiconductors in the United States,
for which it appropriates $52.7 billion.[1][2][3] The act includes $39
billion in subsidies for chip manufacturing on U.S. soil along with 25%
investment tax credits for costs of manufacturing equipment, and $13
billion for semiconductor research and workforce training, with the
dual aim of strengthening American supply chain resilience and
countering China.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Peril
The Yellow Peril (also the Yellow Terror, the Yellow Menace, and the Yellow
Specter) is a racist color metaphor that depicts the peoples of East and
Southeast Asia as an existential danger to the Western world.
The concept of the Yellow Peril derives from a "core imagery of apes,
lesser men, primitives, children, madmen, and beings who possessed special
powers", which developed during the 19th century as Western imperialist
expansion adduced East Asians as the Yellow Peril.
