As Taiwan and Singapore have shown, it starts with a simple but fundamental question: who are we in the global value chain - and what position can we hold that no one else can easily replace? It may not invent the chip, but the world cannot bring that chip to life without Taiwan. It’s about building the institutional framework - the rules of the game - that make long-term strategy possible. It just needs to answer three hard questions:Where do we want to be in the global value chain? And how will the state use education, science, investment, diplomacy, and regulation to build long-term capacity in those areas?
