So here's the question that keeps the global economy awake at night.
Chris Miller wrote the book on this.
He's the author of Chip War.
He teaches at Tufts University near Boston in the US.
And I asked him how worried we should be.
Last December, China ran a large-scale military exercise around Taiwan.
They called it Justice Mission 2025.
The People's Liberation Army, China's military, sent in its navy, its army, its air force and rocket force.
and said the drills were to seize control of Taiwan's airspace and blockade its key ports.
It was at least the sixth major exercise around Taiwan since 2022, and analysts called the naval deployment the largest yet.
In April, the top US commander in the Pacific told Congress that drills like this aren't just exercises, they're rehearsals.
But what does that actually mean?
Does that sound familiar?
A waterway cut off?
We've just lived through a squeeze on another one, the Strait of Hormuz, but Chris says the blockade of Taiwan would dwarf it.
So where might we feel it first?
And according to research from Bloomberg Economics, in the most extreme case of full-blown conflict over Taiwan, the cost to the global economy would be around $10 trillion in the first year alone.
That's about 10% of global output, more than the COVID-19 pandemic and more than the 2008 financial crash.
So here's where it leaves us.
We're using AI more and more every day.
