TSMC itsself is nothing without western technology. ASLM comes to mind which is Dutch. Not sure what American technology is used outside the design/architecture of the chips themselves. Chips aren't going to get any smaller. It is good for the US security wise to maintain advance chips manufacturing just in case even if it will take time, and a crap load of money to catch up. If I were America I would try to snag top engineers from TSMC over by paying them better with better hours. With that said I can't blame Taiwanese for being concerned they might be open if the West was to catch up. Yet it is also hypocritical as they rely on the west to make their chips. Edit - Taiwan needs to get a ton of renewables, and go nuclear. The hell?

@dohss I wouldn't say not nothing. The West is about two generations behind. Five years if TSMC was to vanish. We'd still have most of our stuff working, but supply would be terrible. Since we are hitting the physical laws, and we can't get smaller. There are new technologies in the works that may allow US, China, and even Europe to leapfrog ahead. So TSMC better be the first to get them to work. The West better hope China doesn't crack them first either, because if that happens then they won't lose out on anything if TSMC is crushed.

@kingwing3203 LOL. How is China going to stop the US from getting US designed chips from Taiwan? Hey did you mourn the deaths of Tianamen Square? The anniversary was just recently. So many students and protesters grinded into meat sludge. Knowing the Chinese. Some counterfeit meat was probably sold the next day in the markets.

Even China knows they can't take Taiwan chip factories. The second they get any foothold someone is blowing those FABs up. I wonder if they US would start shipping out their highest skilled engineers. Start bringing in Ospreys to grab their families. Anyway. You know since Taiwan has so many allies. Taking it by force would be a blood bath. Maybe they I don't know. Would try to sway the Taiwanese people to be like, "It would be so much better if you joined us. We'd give you this, that or this. Better then your current government!" Maybe then the Taiwanese themselves would be okay with being part of the mainland again. If the majority voted I'd have no issue with them reuniting. Yet they don't want to be a part of the CCP, because they aren't dumb. So due to that alone I think China should just leave them be, and the mandate of China can go F themselves. This isn't Dynasty Warriors.
