And yet it's enough to spark a geopolitical war to block China from acquiring these machines[1], which basically means China has massively ramped up it's EUV investment if you look at semiengineering investment news.
At the same time you can trust that TSMC secrets are no longer secret[2]. A lot of the Taiwanese companies are actually quite bad at security despite Taiwan have some top notch security engineers. I guess it's just old industries general problems.

- estaseuropano 6y agoSorry but it looks as if you had a view and then googled articles to back this up. The second article is about IP theft and gives no reason to doubt TSMC's integrity. Nor does it give any reason to think Taiwanese companies are worse at opsec than e.g. US or Dutch players.
- rjzzleep 6y agoSorry it's you that didn't read it. China has had a massive cyberop and stole pretty much every secret TSMC had. It doesn't matter whether Taiwan is trustworthy or not if their cybersecurity sucks. Good job for not reading, not understanding and then using a random fallacy to respectfully diss me.
