Almost half of US data centers planned for 2026 are expected to be delayed or canceled. One big reason is the shortage of electrical equipment, such as transformers, switchgear and batteries. US doesn't have manufacturing capacity, forcing it to rely on imports. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-04-01/us-ai-data-center-expansion-relies-on-chinese-electrical-equipment-imports
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is choking off about a third of the world’s global supply of helium. Helium is a critical input in semiconductor manufacturing used to cool chipmaking tools. LESS HELIUM = FEWER CHIPS = MORE EXPENSIVE CHIPS....

Shift from China to Vietnam. Talking about assembly of finished units. What about parts, assemblies, components, etc—the upstream supply chain? Do those still come from China?

With AI, most companies think they bought a factory. They’re still swinging a hammer. That’s Level 1. The companies pulling away in speed, cost and market share are building an AI operating system. That’s Level 2. 👉 https://t.co/31Z0V8EpqB #AIOperatingSystem #DigitalEnablement https://t.co/VUK9fKME6U
One thing that's really impressive is China moving up the manufacturing value chain, while still absolutely dominating the low end. As @Camrjohnson has pointed out (and industry data confirms), China still absolutely dominates in areas like Christmas ornaments.
This is a very interesting piece on Chinese companies moving production to Vietnam. In some sense it's happening at major scale. But also in some other sense, it's very minor, with very little of the TVA leaving China. https://t.co/ZixLeXz4nC https://t.co/BnujaABZ5M
