The only thing that can end up in Chinese hands is the rubble of what used to be TSMC facilities.
- threeseed 5y agoYou need three things to keep TSMC operational: facilities, supply chain and people. Ukraine has shown that those can evaporate in mere days.
- anadem 5y 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.
