I think in the case of our problems, the silicon was made but blocked at the packager for wire bonding etc. I believe the packager is in China proper.
My theory was that CCP ordered Chinese companies to fuck over Western companies and give priority to internal industries, in an effort to hamstring us industry and military resupply, and capture market share.

Theory 2: What if the chip shortage is because those companies are busy making nanotech crap to go in the vaxx?
