By Soumaya Keynes, 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

And they are at the centre of a growing tech war between the US and China, with many other players.

This week Soumaya discusses the geopolitics of chips with Chris Miller, associate professor at Tufts University and author of Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology.
