Well... you are eliding the one, rather decisive way TSMC could indeed end up in Chinese hands.
We just have to hope that the Ukraine conflict has convinced China not to try to pull it off. We certainly would not be able to find economic sanctions that could possibly work if they did.

- threeseed 4y agoYou need three things to keep TSMC operational: facilities, supply chain and people. Ukraine has shown that those can evaporate in mere days.
- anadem 4y agoTrue, but that doesn't imply that TMSC will be taken over by China. In Ukraine, the territory is what Russia wants (minerals, crops) but in Taiwan it's the "human capital" that's desirable, and the latter isn't so susceptible to invasion. It's likely that Russia, with ten times the armed forces of Ukraine, will devastate Ukraine, unfortunately. But China is more likely to hold off devastating Taiwan.
