  1. Which chips? The ones they don't know how to make? The ones that are increasingly being made elsewhere? The ones that are designed elsewhere? Return to your toybox, child.

  2. What is being manufactured in Taiwan can be, and increasingly is being, manufactured elsewhere. The US, France, Sweden, Canada, South Korea and others all have, or soon will have, every capability that the Taiwanese have. It's simply a matter of putting the capacity in place to do so and that process is well underway. Furthermore, these chips are not an indigenous Taiwanese product. They are manufactured there because they were off-shored there for the same reasons most other things were off-shored. The design, engineering, intellectual property and indeed the materials used in their manufacture all come from outside. The Chinese might be able to take over and seize the physical infrastructure but they can't do anything with it because they don't have the capability to do what the Taiwanese can do. If they did, they'd be doing it already. They have no extortionary power in this regard and they know it.  @Frankenspank67
