Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72707019 I know this sector, and what happened was demand was artificially suppressed when the pandemic started. Now it has sprung back, however other sectors like compute and automotive were already doing very well despite the pandemic. The compute sector was influenced heavily by all the people working from home. Demand has overwhelmed supply, and the real leadtime of most chips is 26 weeks. Supply chain disruptions have been pushing it out. Last Edited by Sundecoder on 02/27/2021 03:30 AM Believe Nothing - Question Everything |

The unavailable components suggest to us that someone is making drones in a vast quantity It is NOT the US military getting all those parts ... since the US military/industrial complex does NOT have the manufacturing capacity to use all of those parts in a short time frame. MORE LIKELY China is going on a behind the scenes Defense Buildup, probably DRONES. A MASS of tens of thousands of Drones that just kept coming and coming and coming would overwhelm Taiwan in short order since they would be unable to refuel planes without them being destroyed on the ground ... AND ... it would be hard to move equipment around with the sky filled with drones looking for targets. DRONES are the GAME CHANGER NEW WEAPON for the next war. So far there is no good DEPLOYED defense system that can stop them either. Drones are useless against electromagnetic weapons. US military wants to use it against own people not against an advanced state actor |

Hoarding parts also prevents any military from maintaining their own forces giving a decisive edge to whoever has them. Gen. John B Gordon and Gen.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74899710 United States 02/27/2021 04:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the late 80s I was washing the windows of a school in Whittier. It was on a Saturday. There was some guy inside the nurse's office staring out the back window towards Los Angeles. He was standing there just frozen. He wasn't wearing contemporary clothing. He looked really dead. I mean he was absolutely a corpse. I decided to just walk away even though he looked real. Just of late, I learned at about that time China was threatening to drop an atomic bomb on Los Angeles. So if I had to guess, I think if it came to war, China would take us out with one strike and then we would just surrender because the Democrats have just removed our ability to respond. |

We can connect the dots a bit (why would China sell to the USA military? Just NO.) because the same thing is happening with pet food. The issue is NOT with the food but with the aluminum cans. Some manufacturers have started to shift to different packaging options for some styles of pet food, but not all. This became apparent just after Christmas... In a nutshell, there is a shortage of aluminum -- which has also been noticed with soda pop...Could there be a materials war going on where countries are withholding their natural resources from each other? |

By the way, why would China give the US any raw materials? We sure would not give China a damn thing, if the tides were turned. They will sell us crappy toys and tainted food, but anything of value, I am sure they will keep for their own purposes. The USA had better get back on the manufacturing bandwagon because things will get way worse before they get better -- if they even do get better, which is doubtful. China and Russia are both in the bible in the last days, but the USA is a nonplayer. |

User ID: 79332648 United States 02/27/2021 05:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is China when they have the upper hand. I can tell you all that it’s due to the actual container cars used for shipping. The shipping containers are completely gone. No vacancies. Many friends business have all their supplies being held at the export step. Waiting for arrival of shipping method...... China knows this and are limiting our supplies and o continue to diminish a rebuild of our manufacturing process. Anything tech based especially micro milli and anything small circuit. You are fucked because of their new “holding” pattern by Chinese shipping firms. It’s a soft war as it always was, Biden has rolled over for them. Hold on because the recovery of the “plandemic” is going to be much worse and it will never actually recover. They can’t let it. It’s too far past control. No matter the leak, truth, disclosure, breaking. When nature runs its course. Your always dead. So die righteously |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79031610 Greece 02/27/2021 05:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah, we had to wait for a specific part that we wanted for an R&D project and it was not available for months. Only recently it became available from Mouser and some other smaller companies with Digikey having no stock for it. On the other hand I wouldn't trust some Chinese component companies, even big ones since they do some times sell counterfeit products. For example I bought about 100 RS-485 transceiver ICs for a project, supposedly a TI one but they were either counterfeit or a bad batch since one in three would have short circuit in the Tx (A and B) outputs that would cause problems to the bus, eventually damaging the working drivers. |
