Every country on Earth benefits from the chips that come from Taiwan, and not just the governments, the people using pretty much anything that does computation. That includes China.
- mekdoonggi 10mo agoYes I am aware. Which means that if China takes over political control of Taiwan and says, "We will still sell chips just like normal to everyone except the US". Would the rest of the world decide to go to war with China for the political freedom of Taiwan?
- WarmWash 10mo agoTaiwan will burn (explosive demolition) the fabs before China gets them. This is baked into their defense plan and made known to China.
- jopsen 10mo agoOr the US would :)
- ben_w 10mo agoWhile I do know this is the plan in the event of an invasion, I don't know what to expect in the event of a blockade. "Let the food and oil in or we will burn to the ground the only bargaining chip we have"… I just don't know how to model how credible a threat this is to either party.
- jojomodding 10mo agoWhat makes you think the Taiwanese will hand over the chip producing facitilies to the invader?
