The West buys billions of dollars of computers from China today.
Having Taiwan administered more directly by China won't change that.
A war blowing up fabs? That would change things, sure.
So: avoid war.
- darthrupert 4y agoTSMC is Taiwanese, not Chinese, though. But I agree, avoiding war is obviously almost always the best option. Unless avoiding war equals getting conquered. We should not think that the West is the only conscious actor capable of making decisions. That means PRC bears responsibility in this situation as well. One could argue that they are solely responsible of this being a problem in the first place. They could very easily just back off.
