Reply to comment by Gberg888 in TSMC says efforts to rebuild US semiconductor industry are doomed to fail by 0wed12

I think keeping China from getting the best foundry company in the world is enough reason for the US to protect Taiwan.

As soon as that plant is up to snuff if China did invade I guarantee you'd see a US strike on the infrastructure of tsmc...

I doubt there would be a strike. Bombing your allies even to prevent knowledge getting to the enemy is unpalatable.

So the alternative is probably a few kilos of plastic explosive lined inside the concrete walls.

Then chalk it up to an accident or miscalculation.

I not quite sure about that tbh. The US doesn't really want to go to war with China for obvious reasons.

I would say the US would more likely bomb all TSMC facilities to the ground, If TSMC is not needed anymore,
