Chip War: Mastering Tech, Geopolitics & the China Challenge

By Berlinsideout podcast, featuring Chris Miller, Associate Professor of International History at The Fletcher School, and author of Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology

Chris Miller, author of the bestselling and highly-awarded “Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology”, sits down with Ben and Aaron to chat about his book, and how the semiconductor industry is redrawing the current map of geopolitical risk – from the Taiwan Strait to Europe and the US. Miller also talks about how corresponding American and European risk assessments of the likelihood of an increasingly aggressive China differ – and what’s needed to properly assess the risk around this critical industry.

Ben, Aaron and Chris draw key lessons from the semiconductor industry’s history – including the role it played in winning the cold war – and highlight how democracies need to activate their advantages to prevail once more.
