(7/8) Risks to physical security require increasing trustworthiness. Risks to value chain resilience needs diversification. Risks to competitiveness can be solved strengthening the innovation and industrial base. Risks to universal values require like-minded coordination.

(6/9) I find that the economic security risks for Europe are low for general purpose microcontrollers, medium for NAND flash memory and high for Power MOSFET.

(4/9) Contrary to conventional wisdom, however, 🇨🇳 legacy chip supply is not an issue of overcapacity. 🇨🇳suppliers profit from preferential treatment, but localisation trends & a different business model (foundries instead of IDMs) are equally important for 🇨🇳 success.

(3/9) In the same period, the gap between local supply and demand for legacy chips will continue to grow. As a result, the 🇪🇺 will rely more on 🇨🇳 legacy chips – a new strategic dependency that requires de-risking.

(2/9) While the geopolitical competition has focused on advanced semiconductors, legacy chips account for around 70-75% of global demand – in a wide range of sectors. 🇨🇳’s market share of 30% is to rise further as it accounts for 40% of global capacity buildout until 2030.

(1/9) Will legacy chips be the next strategic dependency from 🇨🇳? Most likely, yes. The 🇪🇺 should take de-risking measures. However, it should do with different means than widely assumed, I argue in my new paper published @uisweden.bsky.social – a 🧵👇 👇👇https://shorturl.at/priOX
