4 Dead, 60 Injured As "Strongest Earthquake In 25 Years" Hits Taiwan

At least four people were killed and nearly 60 injured Wednesday by a powerful earthquake in Taiwan that damaged dozens of buildings and prompted tsunami warnings that extended to Japan and the Philippines before being lifted.

Officials said the quake was the strongest to shake the island in decades, and warned of more tremors in the days ahead.

"The earthquake is close to land and it's shallow. It's felt all over Taiwan and offshore islands," said Wu Chien-fu, director of Taipei's Central Weather Administration's Seismology Center.

Strict building regulations and disaster awareness appear to have staved off a major catastrophe for the island, which is regularly hit by earthquakes as it lies near the junction of two tectonic plates.

Wu said the quake was the strongest since a 7.6-magnitude struck in September 1999, killing around 2,400 people in the deadliest natural disaster in the island's history.

Wednesday's magnitude-7.4 quake struck just before 8:00 am local time (0000 GMT), with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) putting the epicentre 18 kilometres (11 miles) south of Taiwan's Hualien City, at a depth of 34.8 kilometres.

Three people among a group of seven on an early-morning hike through the hills that surround the city were crushed to death by boulders loosened by the earthquake, officials said.

Separately, a truck driver died when his vehicle was hit by a landslide as it approached a tunnel in the area.

Social media was awash with shared video and images from around the country of buildings swaying as the quake struck.

"I wanted to run out, but I wasn't dressed. That was so strong," said Kelvin Hwang, a guest at a hotel in the capital, Taipei, who sought shelter in the lift lobby on the ninth floor.

Dramatic images were shown on local TV of multi-storey structures in Hualien and elsewhere tilting after it ended, while a warehouse in New Taipei City crumbled.

Local TV channels showed bulldozers clearing rocks along roads to Hualien, a mountain-ringed coastal city of around 100,000 people that was cut off by landslides.

President Tsai Ing-wen called for local and central government agencies to coordinate with each other, and said that the national army would also be providing support.

The National Fire Agency confirmed the death toll, adding nearly 60 people had been treated for quake-related injuries.

Regional impact - In Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines, authorities initially issued a tsunami warning but by around 10 am (0200 GMT), the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the threat had "largely passed".

In the capital, the metro briefly stopped running but resumed within an hour, while residents received warnings from their local borough chiefs to check for any gas leaks.

Taiwan is regularly hit by earthquakes as the island lies near the junction of two tectonic plates, while nearby Japan experiences around 1,500 jolts every year.

Across the Taiwan Strait, social media users in China's eastern Fujian province, which borders Guangdong in the south, and elsewhere said they also felt strong tremors.

Residents of Hong Kong also reported feeling the earthquake.

China, which claims self-ruled Taiwan as a renegade province, was "paying close attention" to the quake and "willing to provide disaster relief assistance", state news agency Xinhua said.

Fabrication at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company -- the world's biggest chip maker -- was briefly interrupted at some plants, a company official told AFP, while work at construction sites for new plants was halted for the day.

The vast majority of quakes around the area are mild, although the damage they cause varies according to the depth of the epicentre below the Earth's surface and its location.

The severity of tsunamis -- vast and potentially destructive series of waves that can move at hundreds of kilometres per hour -- also depends on multiple factors.

Japan's biggest earthquake on record was a massive 9.0-magnitude undersea jolt in March 2011 off Japan's northeast coast, which triggered a tsunami that left around 18,500 people dead or missing.

The 2011 catastrophe also sent three reactors into meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant, causing Japan's worst post-war disaster and the most serious nuclear accident since Chernobyl.

Japan saw a major quake on New Year's Day this year, when a 7.5-magnitude tremor hit the Noto Peninsula and killed more than 230 people, many of them when older buildings collapsed.

Making Money w/ Charles Payne - Fox Business February 27, 2024

Charles and Jeff discuss Fed rate cuts, March and election year seasonality, and four stocks on Jeff's radar.

Path To Fed’s 2% Target Is Quite Optimistic

The path to the Fed’s stated 2% target is a quite optimistic 0.1% or less monthly change. If that ends up being Thursday’s PCE reading, the 12-month rate will be 2.1%. Any monthly change greater will likely only further delay the Fed. Unless January’s PCE is surprisingly lower, I still do not expect the Fed to begin cutting rates until at least around mid-year and likely later.

Beware Ides of March

Stock prices have had a propensity to decline, sometimes rather precipitously, during the latter days of the month. Late March gains in 2009 and 2020 improved 2nd half March performance. March Triple-Witching Weeks have been quite bullish in recent years. But the week after is the exact opposite, DJIA down 22 of the last 36 years—and often down sharply. “Beware the Ides of March” this year also coincides with the seasonal decline during presidential election years where the sitting president is running.

Support Levels to Watch

S&P 500: 4800 old ATH and 4600 near summer 2023 highs.

Stocks I like here on a dip:

Reliance ($RS): Making steel and metal for all the industrial, tech and infrastructure growth.

United Health ($UNH): Everyone is going to still need lots of healthcare.

Assurant ($AIZ): Insurance juggernaut in mobile device, electronics, and appliances as well as homeowner, property, fire, hazard, liability, etc

EMCOR ($EME): Construction behemoth building out the data centers, semiconductor fabricators and biotech facilities.

Wow! You can’t make this up!

March 21, 2024

ROBERT B. HUBBELL

It’s hard to believe that the dysfunction in the Republican Party could get worse, but Wednesday saw new heights (or depths?) of chaos in the GOP. You are undoubtedly interested in hearing how the GOP impeachment hearing directed at Joe Biden produced damning evidence—against Donald Trump! But first, let’s look away from the GOP car crash to view the important work that President Biden is doing on behalf of the American people. (You’re welcome!)

As Trump and the GOP were entering panic mode at warp speed, President Biden was delivering on his promises to the American people. The Biden administration began the day by announcing a rule that would accelerate the production of hybrid and all-electric cars. See NYTimes, Biden Administration Announces Rule Aimed at Expanding Electric Vehicles. (This article is accessible to all.)

Per the NYTimes,

The Biden administration on Wednesday issued one of the most significant climate regulations in the nation’s history, a rule designed to ensure that the majority of new passenger cars and light trucks sold in the United States are all-electric or hybrids by 2032. Nearly three years in the making, the new tailpipe pollution limits from the Environmental Protection Agency would transform the American automobile market.

Accelerating the transition to hybrid and electric cars will deliver enormous economic and health benefits to the American people. Again, per the Times, the new regulation will

avoid more than seven billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions over the next 30 years . . . That’s the equivalent of removing a year’s worth of all the greenhouse gases generated by the United States . . . . The regulation would provide nearly $100 billion in annual net benefits to society [including] $13 billion of annual public health benefits thanks to improved air quality. The standards would also save the average American driver about $6,000 in reduced fuel and maintenance over the life of a vehicle, the E.P.A. estimated.

As the new “tailpipe emissions” standard was being announced, President Biden announced a massive investment in an Intel chip fabricating facility in Arizona. See Politico, Biden boosts Intel with massive CHIPS payout in swing state Arizona.

Per Politico, Biden said

“We will enable advanced semiconductor manufacturing to make a comeback here in America after 40 years. It’s going to transform the semiconductor industry and create entirely new ecosystems.” Biden said Intel would also invest “over $100 billion” across the country, in facilities in Arizona, Oregon, Ohio and New Mexico. Those investments should put the U.S. on track to produce roughly 20 percent of the world’s leading-edge chips by 2030, Biden said. He added that Intel’s new projects are expected to create 30,000 jobs nationwide in construction and manufacturing.

Beyond creating tens of thousands of jobs in the high-tech sector, the CHIPS and Science Act protects US national security. Recall that during the COVID pandemic, supply chain issues disrupted the flow of semiconductors into the US, hampering the manufacture and sale of hundreds of consumer products that rely on microprocessors. Manufacturing the chips in the US serves as a hedge against that future risk.

For most presidents, the Intel announcement and new tailpipe admissions standard would be the year's crowning achievements. For Joe Biden, those announcements were known as “Wednesday.” Biden gets stuff done. Tell a friend.

[mariacallous]

After four years of watching Donald Trump inflict flesh wounds on China with his ineffectual trade war, U.S. President Joe Biden appears to have found the jugular. The goal is the same, but this knife is sharper—and could set back China’s tech ambitions by as much as a decade.

The target: semiconductor chips, especially the cutting-edge variety used for supercomputers and artificial intelligence. New export controls announced by the Biden administration this month prohibit the sale of not only those chips to China but also the advanced equipment needed to make them, as well as knowledge from any U.S. citizens, residents, or green card holders.

The chips, wafer-thin and the size of a fingernail, underpin everything from our smartphones to the advanced weapons systems that the United States specifically called out in its filing announcing the export restrictions. Perhaps more important—and this is where the U.S. curbs will hurt China the most—they are indispensable to the technologies of the future, such as AI and self-driving cars, as well as virtually every industry from pharmaceuticals to defense.

“You can pick a cliche—people talk about it as the ‘new oil’ or whatever,” said Raj Varadarajan, a managing director and senior partner at the Boston Consulting Group whose research has focused on the semiconductor industry. “But it’s there in everything, it’s pervading everything, and that’s one of the reasons it’s become such a flashpoint.”

China has set out lofty ambitions for its technology sector, with several government plans over the past decade setting out targets such as self-sufficiency in high-tech manufacturing by 2025, global leadership in AI by 2030, and global industry standards dominance by 2035. The latest U.S. broadside is aimed squarely at that “Made in China” sign.

“I think this is part of also signaling to China that we are not just going to resolve to give China global leadership in some of these key areas,” said Daniel Gerstein, a senior policy researcher at the Rand Corp. who previously served in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate. “We don’t want to lose and become beholden, if you will, to Chinese approaches.”

The semiconductor industry is the cornerstone of that strategy, and China has made significant strides in the recent past. The country now accounts for 35 percent of the global market, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). But that figure reflects the final sales of finished chips to electronics companies, many of which have large manufacturing operations concentrated in China. The more high-tech and critical parts of the process, such as chip design and initial production, are still dominated by the United States.

And while China can hold its own at the lower end of the spectrum and the production of older-generation chips, it still lags behind in the cutting-edge research, design, and advanced technology that the Biden administration’s export restrictions target. Those goals have now likely been pushed back several years.

A significant reason for China’s vulnerability, as well as its painstaking effort to achieve independence, is how interconnected the global semiconductor supply chain is. Chips will often be designed in one country; fabricated in another using machines from a third; tested in a fourth; and finally assembled and placed into electronic devices in a fifth—sometimes with a few more countries and steps in between.

And many of those countries have concentrated their strengths and capacities in certain parts of that process, creating potential bottlenecks that can easily be exploited. For instance, the SIA estimates that there are “more than 50 points across the value chain where one region holds more than 65% of the global market share.” And 92 percent of manufacturing capacity for the world’s most advanced chips is concentrated in Taiwan; the remaining 8 percent is in South Korea.

The United States is trying to hedge its bets on that front as well, passing the CHIPS and Science Act this year, which provides $52 billion in incentives—most of it for companies that set up chip factories on U.S. soil—and hundreds of billions of dollars more to further shore up its research and development capabilities. Biden has been doing the rounds in upstate New York this month, touting the impact of the act, including at an IBM plant in Poughkeepsie (a day before the export controls were announced) and a Micron facility in Syracuse on Thursday.

For the United States, building up its own manufacturing ecosystem is a fail-safe. For China, it has rapidly become an absolute necessity.

“This is an effort that is going to take hundreds of billions of dollars and an incredible amount of engineering talent and energy to recreate a semiconductor supply chain that doesn’t involve U.S. technology,” said Jordan Schneider, a senior analyst at the Rhodium Group. “This supply chain is so globalized, but also so specialized, that at any step in it there’s only a handful of firms in the world that can do it, and if you’re sort of locked out of any one of these steps, then you can’t make chips.”

There are still some unanswered questions, including how the restrictions will be implemented in practice. In many cases, they give companies the option to apply for licenses to use and sell U.S. technology.

“It’s not clear that permission will be denied. It’s very possible that permission will be given, and so it’ll just delay and slow down some things,” Varadarajan said.

The other big question is whether and how China might hit back. Beijing has slammed what it calls “abuse” of export controls and warned that the restrictions could ultimately “backfire” on Washington, but its response so far has been a distant cry from the tit-for-tat tariffs that were a hallmark of Trump’s trade war.

With semiconductors specifically, the vast gap between U.S. and Chinese technological capabilities means Beijing doesn’t have much with which to retaliate. While China accounts for a significant portion of mature node chips—older, larger semiconductors that are not as cutting-edge but are used in products such as cars—it is not indispensable, and production can likely shift elsewhere without much disruption.

“If the U.S. bans selling semiconductors to China, and China says [it is also] going to ban semiconductors, there isn’t much in terms of things that they make over there that they can ban equivalent to proportional response,” Varadarajan said.

China, in any event, is backed into a corner. Any move Beijing makes at the moment to cut itself off from the global supply chain could hit the country’s employment and exports, both of which it can ill afford with a current economic growth rate of 3 percent—far lower than government forecasts—and no easy way out.

Actions within China in the weeks after the U.S. export controls were announced betray the uncertainty within of what to do next. The Chinese government reportedly held emergency meetings with the country’s top semiconductor firms to assess the impact of the restrictions. The Financial Times reported that one of the leading firms, Yangtze Memory Technologies Corp., has already asked several American employees to leave.

China will be forced to double down on its yearslong effort to build its own semiconductor ecosystem and might just achieve its goal of becoming self-sufficient in the long run. But in the short term, there’s likely to be pain.

“The Chinese companies are going to have an enormously difficult time trying to push past these limits without U.S. technology, but any effort to do so just to get to a 2022 level will probably take a decade or more,” Schneider said. “And even with all the effort, it’s not clear that they would succeed.”

Chip, semiconductor, integrated circuit, do you know the relationship and difference between them

1、 What is a chip

Chip, also known as microcircuit, microchip, integrated circuit (IC), refers to the silicon chip containing integrated circuit, which is very small and often a part of computer or other electronic equipment.

Chip is the general term of semiconductor component products. It is the carrier of integrated circuit (IC), which is divided by wafer.

A silicon chip is a small piece of silicon containing an integrated circuit, which is part of a computer or other electronic equipment.

2、 What is semiconductor

Semiconductors refer to materials with conductivity between conductors and insulators at room temperature. For example, diodes are devices made of semiconductors. Semiconductor is a material whose conductivity can be controlled from insulator to conductor.

Whether from the perspective of science and technology or economic development, the importance of semiconductors is very great. Today, the core units of most electronic products, such as computers, mobile phones or digital recorders, are closely related to semiconductors. Common semiconductor materials include silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, etc., and silicon is one of the most influential semiconductor materials in commercial applications.

There are many forms of matter, such as solid, liquid, gas, plasma, etc. We usually call materials with poor conductivity, such as coal, artificial crystals, amber, ceramics, etc., insulators. Metals with good conductivity, such as gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, aluminum, are called conductors. The material between conductor and insulator can be simply called semiconductor

3、 What is integrated circuit

 

Integrated circuit is a kind of micro electronic device or component. Using a certain process, the transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors and other components and wiring required in a circuit are interconnected, fabricated on a small or several small semiconductor chips or dielectric substrates, and then packaged in a shell to become a micro structure with the required circuit functions; All the components have formed a whole in structure, making the electronic components a big step towards miniaturization, low power consumption, intelligence and high reliability. It is represented by the letter "IC" in the circuit.

The inventors of integrated circuits are Jack Kilby (integrated circuit based on germanium (GE)) and Robert neuth (integrated circuit based on silicon (SI)). Nowadays, silicon-based integrated circuits are widely used in semiconductor industry.

Integrated circuit is a new type of semiconductor device developed from the late 1950s to 1960s. It is an electronic device that integrates the semiconductors, resistors, capacitors and other components required to form a circuit with certain functions and the connecting wires between them on a small piece of silicon after oxidation, lithography, diffusion, epitaxy, aluminum evaporation and other semiconductor manufacturing processes, and then welds and packages them in a shell. Its packaging shell has many forms, such as round shell type, flat type or dual in-line type.

Integrated circuit technology includes chip manufacturing technology and design technology, which is mainly reflected in the ability of processing equipment, processing technology, packaging and testing, mass production and design innovation.

4、 What is the difference between a chip and an integrated circuit?

The emphasis to be expressed is different.

A chip is a chip. Generally, it refers to a piece with many small feet that you can see with the naked eye or that you can't see with your feet, but it is obviously square. However, chips also include all kinds of chips, such as baseband, voltage conversion and so on.

The processor emphasizes function more, which refers to the unit that executes processing, which can be said to be MCU, CPU, etc.

The scope of integrated circuit is much wider. Integrating some resistance capacitance diodes together is an integrated circuit, which may be an analog signal conversion chip or a logic control chip, but in general, this concept is more inclined to the underlying things.

Integrated circuit refers to the electronic circuit in which the active components, passive components and their interconnections are made on the semiconductor substrate or insulating substrate together to form a structurally closely related and internally related example. It can be divided into three main branches: semiconductor integrated circuit, film integrated circuit and hybrid integrated circuit.

Chip is the general term of semiconductor component products. It is the carrier of integrated circuit (IC), which is divided by wafer.

5、 What is the relationship and difference between semiconductor integrated circuits and semiconductor chips?

 

Chip is an abbreviation of integrated circuit. In fact, the real meaning of the word chip refers to a little bit of large semiconductor chip inside the integrated circuit package, that is, die. Strictly speaking, chips and integrated circuits cannot be interchanged. Integrated circuits are made through semiconductor technology, thin film technology and thick film technology. All circuits with certain functions that are miniaturized and made in a certain package can be called integrated circuits. A semiconductor is a substance between a good conductor and a bad conductor (or insulator).

Semiconductor integrated circuits include semiconductor chips and peripheral related circuits.

Semiconductor integrated circuit is to interconnect active components such as transistors, diodes and passive components such as resistors and capacitors on a single semiconductor chip according to a certain circuit, so as to complete specific circuit or system functions.

A semiconductor device that can realize a certain function is made by etching and wiring on a semiconductor sheet. Not only silicon chips, but also common semiconductor materials such as gallium arsenide (gallium arsenide is toxic, so don't be curious about decomposing some inferior circuit boards), germanium, etc.

Semiconductors are also trendy like cars. In the 1970s, American enterprises such as Intel gained the upper hand in the dynamic random access memory (D-Ram) market. However, due to the emergence of large computers, Japanese enterprises were among the best in the 1980s when high-performance D-Ram was needed.

According to the introduction of the chip failure analysis laboratory, it can implement the testing work according to international, domestic and industrial standards, carry out the comprehensive testing work from the underlying chip to the actual product, from physics to logic, and provide chip pretreatment, side channel attack, optical attack, intrusive attack, environment, voltage burr attack, electromagnetic injection, radiation injection, physical security, logical security, function Compatibility, multi-point laser injection and other safety testing services. At the same time, it can carry out failure analysis and testing services to simulate and reproduce the failure of intelligent products and find out the failure causes, mainly including probe station, reactive ion etching (RIE), micro leakage detection system (Emmi), X-ray detection, defect cutting observation system (FIB system) and other testing tests. Realize the evaluation and analysis of the quality of intelligent products, and provide quality assurance for chips, embedded software and applications of intelligent equipment products.

Prepare your supply chain

Buyers of electronic components must now be prepared for future prices, extended delivery time, and continuous challenge of the supply chain. Looking forward to the future, if the price and delivery time continues to increase, the procurement of JIT may become increasingly inevitable. On the contrary, buyers may need to adopt the "just in case" business model, holding excess inventory and finished products to prevent the long -term preparation period and the supply chain interruption.

As the shortage and the interruption of the supply chain continue, communication with customers and suppliers will be essential. Regular communication with suppliers will help buyers prepare for extension of delivery time, and always understand the changing market conditions at any time. Regular communication with customers will help customers manage the expectations of potential delays, rising prices and increased delivery time. This is essential to ease the impact of this news or at least ensure that customers will not be taken attention to the sudden changes in this chaotic market.

Most importantly, buyers of electronic components must take measures to expand and improve their supplier network. In this era, managing your supply chain requires every link to work as a cohesive unit. The distributor of the agent rather than a partner cannot withstand the storm of this market. Communication and transparency are essential for management and planning. In E-energy Holding Limited, we use the following ways to hedge these market conditions for customers:

Our supplier network has been reviewed and improved for more than ten years.

Our strategic location around the world enables us to access and review the company's headquarters before making a purchase decision.

India's dream of "decoupling from China" is far away

According to the official website of the Prime Minister of India (PMINDIA) and the Financial Times on September 2, the Indian government approved the construction of Keyns Semiconductor Limited to build a fifth semiconductor plant in Sanand, Gujarat.Keynes plans to invest about 33 billion rupees to achieve 6 million chips on a day that can be used in cars, consumer electronics and other sectors. Earlier, the Indian government has approved the construction of four semiconductor plants in Sanand, Mali and Assam, with a total investment of 1.5 trillion rupees and a capacity of more than 70 million chips.Among them, Micron Technology Corporation (Micron Technology) has built the first high-end semiconductor manufacturing plant in Sanand, which is expected to officially put into production by the end of 2024.It is worth noting that in order to promote the development of Indian chips, the Modi government plans to launch the "10 billion subsidy" 2.0 plan, which will further support the raw materials, gases and chemicals needed for chip manufacturing, and aims to build India into a new generation of global semiconductor manufacturing center.

China's infrastructure construction was a great success, and India also copied up the Chinese operations. It is not hard to see that India's desire to surpass China and become the number one in Asia is very strong, and the United States is also contributing in the process.India's ambitious effort to make smartphones, solar panels and drugs is trying to start its own business, only to find itself stagnant without the parts and raw materials imported from China.But India's own infrastructure and industrial levels are not strong enough to accommodate high-end manufacturing transfers.Although American companies have set up factories in India, India has no complete industrial chain, so the Indian side has aggressively bought Chinese raw materials and semi-finished products, which has further deepened India's dependence on China.Us policymakers who want to spread supply chain risk through India may have a headache. From circuit boards to batteries, from yarn to fabrics, "made in China" imports are everywhere, growing twice faster than total imports.

It has to be said that India made a very clever decision to copy China, but India made a stupid decision in an attempt to decouple from China.American experts have found that the United States originally wanted to promote India as a "Chinese alternative" to ease the "heart disease" of its dependence on China. Instead of becoming a new favorite, India is increasingly relying on China.Since the Modi government took office in 2014, it has been emphasizing strengthening manufacturing in India, but the fact that India's own manufacturing base is weak will not be reversed in a short time.According to the Washington Post on September 2, India is struggling to get rid of its import dependence on China, which may seriously challenge the US "China + 1" strategy.In recent years, US companies have largely shifted to "Made in India" to diversify their supply chains to reduce their dependence on Chinese imports.India's imports from China grew growing twice the rate, covering electronics, renewable energy and pharmaceuticals, according to the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), an Indian think tank.At present, nearly two-thirds of the electronic components are imported from China, and almost all of the industrial core components such as solar panels come from China.As a result, the US restricting imports of solar panel materials from China and switching to imports from India may have limited utility.In addition, given that India's manufacturing industry is highly dependent on Chinese technology and raw materials, the Indian government is expected to relax visa restrictions on Chinese technicians in the future and approve a number of China-related electronic investment proposals ——, which indicates that "decoupling from China" is far away.

Earlier, the Indian government has approved the construction of four semiconductor plants in Sanand, Mali and Assam, with a total investment of 1.5 trillion rupees and a capacity of more than 70 million chips.Among them, Micron Technology Corporation (Micron Technology) has built the first high-end semiconductor manufacturing plant in Sanand, which is expected to officially put into production by the end of 2024.It is worth noting that in order to promote the development of Indian chips, the Modi government plans to launch the "10 billion subsidy" 2.0 plan, which will further support the raw materials, gases and chemicals needed for chip manufacturing, and aims to build India into a new generation of global semiconductor manufacturing center.

China's infrastructure construction was a great success, and India also copied up the Chinese operations. It is not hard to see that India's desire to surpass China and become the number one in Asia is very strong, and the United States is also contributing in the process.India's ambitious effort to make smartphones, solar panels and drugs is trying to start its own business, only to find itself stagnant without the parts and raw materials imported from China.But India's own infrastructure and industrial levels are not strong enough to accommodate high-end manufacturing transfers.Although American companies have set up factories in India, India has no complete industrial chain, so the Indian side has aggressively bought Chinese raw materials and semi-finished products, which has further deepened India's dependence on China.Us policymakers who want to spread supply chain risk through India may have a headache. From circuit boards to batteries, from yarn to fabrics, "made in China" imports are everywhere, growing twice faster than total imports.

It has to be said that India made a very clever decision to copy China, but India made a stupid decision in an attempt to decouple from China.American experts have found that the United States originally wanted to promote India as a "Chinese alternative" to ease the "heart disease" of its dependence on China. Instead of becoming a new favorite, India is increasingly relying on China.Since the Modi government took office in 2014, it has been emphasizing strengthening manufacturing in India, but the fact that India's own manufacturing base is weak will not be reversed in a short time.According to the Washington Post on September 2, India is struggling to get rid of its import dependence on China, which may seriously challenge the US "China + 1" strategy.In recent years, US companies have largely shifted to "Made in India" to diversify their supply chains to reduce their dependence on Chinese imports.India's imports from China grew growing twice the rate, covering electronics, renewable energy and pharmaceuticals, according to the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), an Indian think tank.At present, nearly two-thirds of the electronic components are imported from China, and almost all of the industrial core components such as solar panels come from China.As a result, the US restricting imports of solar panel materials from China and switching to imports from India may have limited utility.In addition, given that India's manufacturing industry is highly dependent on Chinese technology and raw materials, the Indian government is expected to relax visa restrictions on Chinese technicians in the future and approve a number of China-related electronic investment proposals ——, which indicates that "decoupling from China" is far away.

Life as a Senior NCO for a Head of Household that can't Provide.

Tank vs Rifle Scope

Fighting a tank would be nearly impossible for a single squad team. For example, the M1 Abrams has a .50cal automatic rifle, and various tank rounds that can even be used as artillery rounds, as well as the option for a 7.62 machine gun. The M1 Abrams is no friend to infantry units.

However, not everybody would be willing to jump inside of a Tank cabin, loaded up with tank rounds. If something happened, that would hurt.

And then there are other people who would much rather fight with a rifle. For example, if there was a Mutany in an Armoured division, you can see the reason for a ranger squad to pull him back in.

And now you're talking about a tank hunter.

And now you're talking about honing the skills to enumerate. An important skill to consider.

For example, if an Infantry Squad can have a fully automatic M16, and hand grenades, than simply dropping a fully automatic option, for a semi-automatic option, and reducing the number of rounds you can carry, you can see that you could make up the difference with a rifle scope, and a grenade launcher.

It's cheap, but it's still enough to do what you were trying to do.

And now, a Senior NCO has a tool, to use a simple infantry squad, to redirect the chances of a Mutany in an armored unit.

Think about it, a Tank vs a Rifle Scope.

If a Tank Platoon comes in, they are hard. And they can really lay down the weight. And that really effects the moral of your troops.

On the other hand, you still have a squad, and that is support. And you're not alone, you still have a rank you're part of.

And you don't have to confront a Tank dead on. You can still keep your distance. And if you can keep your distance, and carefully plan how you can fight something as heavy as a Tank Platoon, you might be able to form a strategy that is still reasonable.

At least create an effect that would slow down a Tank, or even make them think about how they are going to sleep, and what happens when they run out of food.

Worse case scenario, a Tank Hunter still carries the same weight as a normal infantry squad.

Sergeant Major Nathan Marksmith, North Wales Militia/ Joint Militia Detachment Brigade (Virginia Militia Association)

Additional things to consider:

Lens Coatings, and Lithography for Semiconductor Fabrication

Measurement Instrumentation and Product Durability

Now that we've talked about tactics, you also need to consider who is who. And there's different ways of fighting.

The heavy weight tanks, and the tank hunters, but in electronics there's other ways to do things.

The regular way, and the manipulator. And the perfect example of both is the staple Operational Amplifier. A straight forward amplifier, or your choice of one that can manipulate an amplifier.

And this is the perplexity of any electronics student is faced with, if they think they are going to make a career out of electronics.

But as far as strategic superiority, I can just walk in and say it's mine.

And now you can see the terms the way things are done. But there's still plenty of opportunity to fight.
