The two pieces on semiconductors that I wrote in the East Asia Forum garnered considerable interest from academic and policy audiences. The thesis of the latest EAF is expanded in my latest draft article under review, ‘The Weaponization of Supply Chains in the Contactless Economy under COVID-19: The Role of the U.S.-China Race for Supremacy in AI in the Japan-South Korea Chip War’. In response to the overwhelming interest I have been providing talks in various academic and policy-oriented venues until end of year.

This page will be updated as the draft article gets invited for presentation pre- and post-publication, with lecture videos if available.
