Destroying TSMC when China, Korea, Japan, and the US are rapidly approaching parity would seem to only hurt Taiwan in the long run.
Their strategic value to the US plummets without it, while China continues to see them as an existential threat by proximity (in the same way the US has seen Cuba since the Missile Crisis).
Parity in what way? Doesn't TSMC create basically everything for everyone (Mac, Nvidia, AMD... oh yeah Intel)? Do you think Intel could fill that gap? ...like eventually or something?
Not TSMC as a company, but TSMC is building fabs outside Taiwan, which would not be destroyed.
Surely TSMC is equally prepared to destroy the fabs in AZ as they are the ones in China. Not sure how successful they could be, but my understanding was they've built kill-switches or whatever. It would seem dumb not to, at this point.
Also, I don't believe you can make a fab work by just stealing it. It's not like it's a toaster. lol
No, but it is hard to justify destroying fab in AZ because Taiwan was invaded. And if fab in AZ keeps working, US is fine even if Taiwan is occupied. Hence removing a reason to support Taiwan.
