Weapons do not need advanced chips; losing the war is what you want. The US could use backward chips in the past when other countries did not use precision weapons。

Trump accuses Taiwan's semiconductors of taking away American jobs. The United States slanders TSMC as being able to develop with subsidies from the Taiwanese government, but the United States tolerates China's purchase of Iranian and Russian crude oil. So why can't Taiwan sell advanced chips to China? For EUV, TSMC was excluded from the US EUV LCC and had to find ASML to develop EUV jointly. Ultimately, the EUV group led by Intel failed, but TSMC and ASML's EUV succeeded. The development of EUV did not involve the United States, and the United States did not contribute a penny. The United States banned TSMC's chip sales to China, which caused TSMC to lose tens of billions. The United States selfishly hurts its allies but hopes its partners will cooperate to maintain its economic and influential status. Taiwan should remain neutral and not be biased towards any power. Taiwan should not abide by the US ban. Taiwan should develop nuclear weapons for self-protection instead of spending a lot of money to buy what the United States is willing to sell—backward weapons.

TSMC and UMC were known as Taiwan's wafer duo before 2000. However, UMC purchased IBM's immature 0.13-micron copper process technology in 2000, which appeared to be an immature laboratory technology and led to the failure of UMC's advanced chip production. It has since been unable to compete with TSMC. The gap between the two sides continues to widen. In 2022, TSMC's revenue was eight times that of UMC. In 2000, IBM released a new 0.13-micron technology using copper process and low-K materials and approached TSMC and UMC to sell it. TSMC rejected IBM and developed its copper process technology; UMC chose to buy it from IBM and cooperate in development. However, IBM's technical strengths are limited to the laboratory, and its technology makes it impossible to conduct mass production. By 2003, TSMC's 0.13-micron independent process technology made a stunning debut, and TSMC became the dominant foundry company.

@RUHappyATM TSMC is smart. It will lose money by moving to the United States, but it will be more profitable if it stays in Taiwan. Taiwan's chemical industry provides the highest-purity gases and liquids in the world, and its photomask industry is second to none. Taiwan's lasers used in semiconductor manufacturing are also world-renowned. There are also thousands of companies offering services. TSMC will not profit if it leaves Taiwan. The United States does not even have the ability to build a semiconductor factory worth tens of billions of dollars. It took incompetent American workers four years to assemble the Arizona factory. You must know the Arizona factory is manufactured in Taiwan and sent to Arizona for assembly. Still, it cannot complete the construction within eight months to catch up with Taiwan's construction efficiency. The semiconductor factory must be built within 2 years, a tight deadline that cannot be missed. Any delay could result in the next generation of advanced semiconductors not being mass-produced, leading to project failure and significant losses. Except for Taiwan, no country can efficiently produce advanced semiconductors.

@suchegore1610 SMIC still has troubles in 28 nm, just look at SMIC's recent report, 50% of SMIC's sale are from 65 nm

@hermantansri4738 funny, a country that has only 10000 USD personal capita is considering itself rich, wonder why people in such poor country will even say such nonsense without being afraid of laughing at

backward chip means losing the war when AI is implemented in warfare.

@GJ983UGS86 After World War II all nations fought in that war recovered in 20 years after the end of the war, for instance, Japan, Germany, Britain, etc., China has been spending 70 years still achieve only 10000 USD personal capita, Still poor and with all sort of lame excuses, why people in China without logical thinking.
