Reply to comment by OldGuto in Taiwan's TSMC founder says 3nm fab will be built in US by jussulent_tummy

>Or not bother lifting a finger to actually help Taiwan if the Chinese do actually become properly aggressive. Especially when the fab is in your own country.

If the US says it will back Taiwan, it will.

For now. Conditions could be different decades from now. Taiwan would be foolish to only rely on America's word and not look out for itself in the long term. We used to have a full defensive alliance with Taiwan and formally recognized them until that was changed under President Carter.
