Former US natsec advisor: destroy Taiwan semiconductor factories if China invades! --- Quote ---Rather than see Taiwan’s semiconductor factories fall into the hands of the Communist Party of China, the US and its allies would simply pull a Nordstream. “The United States and its allies are never going to let those factories fall into Chinese hands,” O’Brien told Semafor, a news outlet that has been funded by jailed Democratic financier Sam Bankman-Fried and his brother. O’Brien went on to compare the destruction of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) to Winston Churchill’s bombing of a French naval fleet after the country’s surrender to Nazi Germany. --- End quote --- https://thegrayzone.com/2023/03/13/us-natsec-advisor-taiwan-semiconductor-china/ |

Would you even need to destroy TSMC? Simply stopping all shipments to Taiwan will render the factories pretty close to useless. Without replacement lasers, you get about a month's worth of machine time with EUV, for instance. |

This would only hurt the west, for the most part. We love doing that! |

That won't inform anyone too much about the kinds of advanced manufacturing techniques needed to produce such precise machines, but it would certainly help a lot in many areas of developing a substitute. |
