TSMC is far too important to far too many parties. We're getting dangerously close to a direct US/China war for Taiwan. That wouldn't be good for anybody. Both sides will claim it's about something else, but really it's all about the chips.
- rory 6y agoIt really is pretty terrifying. I'd go as far to say that the most likely thing the next World War (pray there isn't one) will be fought over is TSMC.
- mjevans 6y agoMy view (opinion): Both sides will arm for war, mostly as a deturant and bargaining point. Espionage at a corporate and nation state level will be used to erode the value of the problem; probably by every advanced nation state. The other 21st century and beyond area of competition will be energy tech (of all sorts), because of that old science fiction meme of the only two things an advanced species need being space and energy.
