This is a public comment to save face. Fact is the US owns the IP and it is considered essential to national security and a threat to that security is letting a global peer competitor steal it.

What would the US do if, for some reason, taiwan said fuck it we go with china now?

How do you think this will pan out?

Yep. This was (ostensibly) the impetus for the C.H.I.P.S. Act and why every corporation with silicone in the game is cranking out and ramping up new Fabs as fast as they get the walls up. Especially as there is a pile gibs dinero on the table.
