Technology war definition
Technology war means high competition among companies and countries who are leaders in developoing the microchip technologies. The field can be described as highly competitive and rapidly evolving. Main competitors to create more advanced technologies are China and the U.S with focus on developing smaller, faster and more power efficient microchips, striving to create chips measured in nanometers. In recent years China has invested billions of dollars in robotics, artificial intelligence, microlectronics and green energy. To maintain competitive position, U.S. companies have boosted investments in research and development, eased visa restrictions, patents and supported development of domestic talent, as well as undertaken government action. One of the examples, where microchips are used is 5G wireless infrastructure. (Darby, 2021)
