How long until the TSMC in Arizona gets built? Or other similar things. I feel like we need to find peaceful ways to resolve our severe differences with China.

I feel like we need to find peaceful ways to resolve our severe differences with China. Either that or stop depending on China's neighbors for critical technology.
I just hope that there can be some kind of progress with the new administration in Washington.
- chapium 6y agoMaybe they can peacefully stop genociding.
- Skunkleton 6y agoTSMC is Taiwan. They aren't genociding.
- pestatije 6y agoTaiwan aren't, but the OP was saying that they could be the next to be genocided: "stop depending on China's neighbors for critical technology"
- ilaksh 6y agoI was not trying to get into the genocide thing. I just know that Taiwan and South Korea are very close to China. And so I feel like even before China really builds up their military much more, the proximity of those places to China is a pretty significant military issue for US and its allies. Its hard to see how it does not provide military advantages. More generally, it seems like we want to hold out hope that in the long run serious military confrontation can somehow be avoided down the line. But if not, chip production is a fairly key item that you don't really want to be happening on your enemy's doorstep.
