Transferring much of the chip manufacturing output away from China is the key to overcome such shortage. With so many other Asian countries with a higher degree of freedom, and not so far from consolidated shipping routes, it doesn't seem so hard to diversify suppliers instead of keeping reliant on China. Plus the added value of electronic components may also justify bringing manufacture back to Western countries.
