CHRIS MILLER
Author of Award-Winning Book
Main Speaker
Semiconductors are essential to the way we live. They are key components in everything from smartphones to military infrastructure, and much of daily life that we take for granted would not be possible without them. Their importance to modern society has led some to regard them as the new oil, a source of national power and influence. Now, a high-stakes battle for control of advanced chip technology and chipmaking supply chains is reshaping the global economy.
Nikkei is proud to present three episodes in our webinar series, “Untold Story of Chip War.” In the webinars, we invited Chris Miller as the author of award-winning global bestseller “Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology” to be our main speaker and were joined by prominent panelists, each with deep knowledge of the sector. Please enjoy an insightful and fresh look at this always-changing industry.
We brought together three prize-winning writers on the semiconductor sector. Chris Miller is the author of the acclaimed book “Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology.” Taipei-based Nikkei Asia correspondents Cheng Ting-Fang and Lauly Li have earned awards in Asia and the U.S. for their illuminating reporting on the tech supply chain’s vulnerabilities. The panelists discussed the wide-ranging impact of U.S. export controls on chips and related equipment to China, and Washington’s CHIPS and Science Act. The online session covered the concerns and responses of major industry players, as well as the views of trade specialists.
