    China must invade Taiwan if they want to be relevant in the tech sector 10 years from now.

    this is outdated information, and if you are going to copy-paste it around you should fix and probably adjust it. china has reasons for wanting to “unify” Taiwan and it’s not about TSMC, that would be a nice bonus. but it’s really not about it and their tech sector is not reliant on it.

    their tech sector does not use TSMC chips today, their own chip fabs are actually doing surprisingly well. which is the reason that the US has been trying to build up their own chip manufacturing for a while, china got good and TSMC’s future isn’t predictable.

    the US isn’t trying to move TSMC to US soil, they can’t move the infrastructure, the majority of the people and (importantly) the location - all of which are what make TSMC special (the lithography machines are from europe and elsewhere). The US just wants options and industry in an unpredictable market where their biggest competitor has made significant ground
