Drought in Taiwan is a problem as well. "Taiwan's chip industry under threat as drought turns critical TAIPEI -- Taiwan's tech manufacturers fear their output is under threat from the island's worst drought in decades, risking more turmoil for global supply chains already strained by shortages of semiconductors and other key components.
