Semi conductors
Most people seem to have forgotten that Trump has banned the export of semi conductor chips to China for national security reasons. As far as I know Biden is continuing with this policy. Since many car parts are manufactured in China we have the present problem. China has now started to develop their own chips not just for cars but also mobile phones etc. (think Huawei) so as not to rely on the US and their trade war policies, which seem to have backfired at least in this case. Hopefully astronomy gear will not be affected too much if at all.
My two cents...
