This is such a dumb proposition. Even if you get military presence in a country for fab, a fab will loose the competitive advantage in just two years. And there are slots available in fabs that China could easily obtain for money/other deal rather than going for war.
- mschuster91 5y ago> a fab will loose the competitive advantage in just two years Not really. First, almost all fabs for modern chipset structures are located in Taiwan which means China won't invade Taiwan for a fab but for all fabs. Second, the market is glowing so white hot that - even assuming China manages to take over all Taiwanese fabs intact and with staff cooperating, which is quite unlikely - there will be more demand than supply for many years to come.
