This adds quite a nice bit of context to why Taiwan is so important. TSMC in the hands of China would be a disaster for the rest of the world.
It also highlights why outsourcing and globalization is such a detriment to the USA. If we did all of this here, we would be far better off. Crippling our own manufacturing sector makes us weaker in times of war. We would have to go through the bootstrapping phase again which is a ton of lead time on getting actual useful products out the door.
If it was easy niggers would do it.
Taiwan has been the center of the electronics industry since the 80s when places like TI and other US corps moved there.
It would be a good thing for the USA to take over Taiwan in the long run because it would force a lot of this manufacturing to return to the USA.
Assuming we don't simply let it happen and let them collapse the USA using their agents in this country like Xiden.
Agreed
