The US was defending Taiwan against China long before TSMC was founded. If anything I'd worry it goes the opposite way. In the status quo, if the Chinese military can prevent TSMC from operating or prevent their products from being exported, wouldn't the US almost have to capitulate in exchange for a chips deal?
- mytailorisrich 2y agoCapitulate? The US aren't going into a direct war against the PRC even if Taiwan is invaded. The play is to create trouble to the PRC, to bar open access to Pacific and to control trade routes to Japan/Korea. The US do not care about Taiwan beyond its "usefulness".
