>TSMC now has fabs on U.S. soil. It will take years to get to the level of skill TSMC in Taiwan has. I don't think Washington should spend money and lives on defending Taiwan. My point is that TSMC is a very valuable manufacturer of chips so it will be a big loss in skill and technology for the "West". Ultimately the destiny of Taiwan should be whatever the people of Taiwan wish but alas the world does not work that way.
