A good advise! It could be simply someone with strange ideas or that person is testing the waters for a government or politican with world domination ideas.

Doubt they'd even need that - China siezing TSMC would be like when African govenments siezed the land of white farmers and gave it to people who had no clue how to run a farm.

Just look at the failed Chinese fab attempts

Bud:
This was a dumb post. Who do you think employees of TSMC are? Are they some aliens from the other planet? They all RPC people. Any sabotage and China will punish any of it. In regards to the knowledge how to run the plant - same thing. The plant employees are locals and not disappear overnight if anything happens. Guess what, people need to feed their families regardless.

It's utter absurdium to suggest that China could seize TSMC.

A company of that scale needs engineers.  Almost zero chance the Taiwanese engineers will work for China, the Taiwanese identity is very strong.   It would be like getting Ukranians to work for Russia after the invasion.   

Then you have the western components.  ASML machines require laser replacements every 1000 hours or less.   Those lasers are made in California, by an ASML subsidiary.   Zero chance they would receive supply there.   The tin targets for the EUV process are probably also precision and made in the West somewhere.  And then you have software,  wafer resources,  chip designs,  packaging.   TSMC is just one 'part' of a wider machine.

Question yourself whether you're into this "narrative" on TSMC vs China thingy, that all of these, maybe, is just a projection for "other" bigger agenda ?

Also once in a while, read the so called "bad&evil" media's side to have different perspectives, instead of just Western medias.

Pretty sure Taiwanese are not that stupid, especially when they remembered what happened to France's Alstom, and so many other examples of great companies from US allies, fellow French members here should be able to tell this sweet story.  >:D

PS : Regarding Alstom's story, no need to rush to Wikipedia to read what happened, as the "goodies" are censored out.  :-DD
