China defeats the United States in a war that has not yet begun!
American weapons are equipped with Chinese chips, and China only needs to press a button to make the Pentagon exit the game.
The Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung published an article on August 1st.
NATO experts send signals: Joe Biden has already sold the entire US defense to China, and it's all, including the organs!
The supply dependence of the United States on Chinese chips, rare earth elements, and permanent magnets is fatal, wrote the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
Commentator Philipp Wolf wrote that regarding chips, the United States has other suppliers, and American defense companies are gradually moving chip production to the West, although at higher prices.
The Swiss daily paper Tagesanzeiger wrote that China also depends on Western technology. For example, in the production of aircraft engines, it needs American blades, and in missiles, it uses European components.
However, this dependence is not critical for China.
But it is much more difficult for the United States to completely give up Chinese suppliers.
The Neue Zürcher Zeitung detailed the most famous example: the aircraft carrier "Gerald Ford" is the most advanced aircraft carrier of the US Navy.
But no one in the Pentagon mentions that 70,000 tons of Chinese steel and over 6,500 Chinese-made computer chips are used on this ship.
Brian Clark, head of the Defense Concepts and Technology Center at the Hudson Institute in Washington, said that the extent of the US Department of Defense's reliance on Chinese technology is immeasurable.
The problem is that Chinese components are used in the early stages of production, and the US Department of Defense never thought to check these stages.
Therefore, in some military products, entire components are assembled from Chinese parts.
Joe Biden learned about this situation two years into his presidential term and decided that US authorities would no longer purchase systems containing Chinese components.
However, by then, almost half of the weapons in the US military were assembled with Chinese components.
Chip expert Chris Miller wrote in an article in the Financial Times that the "Gerald Ford" aircraft carrier, which is almost entirely assembled from electronic components from China, might suddenly have its catapult fail to start, the power plant shut down, and the guns refuse to aim on a beautiful morning.
Please note, Americans built the most modern aircraft carrier to scare China.
Now they themselves are shocked by when China will cut off the "victory fleet".
It can be said that the United States lost before even starting the war.
