Economic historian Chris Miller joins Rep. Crenshaw to talk about one of the most important battles of the 21st century: control of silicon chip manufacturing. They cover how silicon chips are made, how Taiwan gained the competitive advantage in manufacturing, China\u2019s attempts to usurp Taiwan as the world\u2019s chipmaking hub, how the U.S. enabled China\u2019s development of their artificial intelligence systems, and what we need to do to catch up with Taiwan\u2019s manufacturing capabilities.\xa0
