Ukushoda kwama-chip emhlabeni wonke okuqale ngonyaka odlule kuthinte kakhulu izimboni ezahlukahlukene e-EU. Imboni yokukhiqiza izimoto ithinteke kakhulu. Ukubambezeleka kokulethwa kuvamile, okugqamisa ukuncika kwe-EU kubahlinzeki bamaphuphu baphesheya kwezilwandle. Kubikwa ukuthi ezinye izinkampani ezinkulu zandisa ukwakheka kwazo kokukhiqizwa kwama-chip e-EU.

Muva nje, ukuhlaziya idatha evela ezinkampanini ezinkulu kuchungechunge lokuhlinzeka nge-semiconductor yomhlaba wonke olukhishwe uMnyango Wezohwebo wase-US kubonise ukuthi uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka nge-semiconductor yomhlaba wonke lusantekenteke, futhi ukushoda kokuhlinzekwa kwama-chip kuzoqhubeka okungenani izinyanga eziyi-6.

Ulwazi luphinde lubonise ukuthi uhlu lwabasebenzisi olumaphakathi lwama-chips abalulekile lwehle lusuka ezinsukwini ezingama-40 ngo-2019 lwaya ngaphansi kwezinsuku ezi-5 ngo-2021. UMnyango Wezohwebo wase-US uthe lokhu kusho ukuthi uma izici ezifana nobhubhane olusha lomqhele kanye nezinhlekelele zemvelo zivala amafekthri angaphandle kwe-semiconductor ngisho namasonto ambalwa, kungase kuholele ekuvinjweni kwezinkampani ezikhiqiza isikhashana zase-US kanye nabasebenzi besikhashana.

Ngokusho kwe-CCTV News, uNobhala Wezohwebo wase-US uRaimondo ukhiphe isitatimende esithi i-semiconductor supply chain isentekenteke, kanti iCongress yaseMelika kumele ivume isiphakamiso sikaMongameli uBiden sokutshala imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-52 zamaRandi ukuze kwandiswe i-chip yasekhaya i-R&D kanye nokukhiqizwa ngokushesha okukhulu. Uthe ngenxa yokwanda kwesidingo semikhiqizo ye-semiconductor kanye nokusetshenziswa ngokugcwele kwezindawo zokukhiqiza ezikhona, ukuphela kwesixazululo senkinga yokuhlinzekwa kwe-semiconductor ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ukwakha kabusha amandla okukhiqiza asekhaya aseMelika.
