In a recent statement, Ruby Yang, chairwoman of Wingtech, has raised alarms about the precarious state of the global AI chip and semiconductor supply chain. According to the experts cited in the publication, the situation is becoming critical.
Legal Freeze Exacerbates Semiconductor Crisis
Yang highlighted that the legal freeze imposed by the Dutch government is exacerbating the situation, pushing the semiconductor industry towards a potential production breakdown. She warned that this crisis is not only threatening production capabilities but also eroding global trust in international investments.
Accusations Against the Dutch Government
Furthermore, Yang accused the Dutch government of breaching a bilateral investment treaty with China, suggesting that some Dutch managers are taking advantage of the turmoil for their own benefit. The ramifications of this dispute are already being felt, as evidenced by Honda's recent announcement to halt car production in Japan and China due to semiconductor shortages, underscoring the far-reaching impacts of the ongoing conflict.
Amid the ongoing semiconductor crisis highlighted by Ruby Yang, Intel's foundry business faces significant challenges as it struggles to attract major clients. For more details, see the full report on Intel's situation here.
