Um… duh? Welcome to the conversation?
TSMC is the reason China keeps doing this shit:
It’s pretty obvious they’re planning an invasion. You don’t fly 800+ missions into another nation’s airspace in just one year because you think it’s fun.
TSMC is a part of it, but the whole invasion plan is mostly out of shame. China wants to reclaim what they believe rightfully belongs to them.
The TSMC was created as a country’s defense strategy, it’s commonly referred to as “silicon shield”, but Taiwan’s over reliance on it and lack of military investment of their own prompted US to reduce the reliance of TSMC so that they would have a choice if they want to defend them or not.
And invasion is risky for China too, even without US intervention. China is being supplied millions upon millions of chips by TSMC as of today (low to mid-end) and if they invade and TSMC fabs gets damaged or sabotaged they lose all that supply.
Couldn’t Taiwan find a country willing to “harbor” the entire population and move with all their hardware, leaving the country empty for the Chinese to do what they like? Might be easier than trying to get China to be reasonable…
What will Taiwan be worth to China if all profitable businesses move?
It’ll never happen, so just hypothetically speaking…
