So obviously some chips fabricated by TSMC go to China for further manufacturing into consumer devices or whatever. But I was also surprised by the grandparent comment to this one. Does TAMC have fabs in mainland China. I would have thought that would make the US (and Taiwanese) government nervous as Chinese manufacturing being so reliant on external fabs discourages them from doing anything silly with Taiwan.

TSMC has fabs in China (Nanjing and Shanghai), but at the much older 28nm node. 1. search for "Fab 16" and "Fab 10" on following page: https://www.tsmc.com/english/aboutTSMC/TSMC_Fabs https://www.tsmc.com/english/aboutTSMC/TSMC_Fabs 2. search for "TSMC Nanjing node" and "TSMC Shanghai node" and you'll find articles mentioning 28nm
