Experts fear that China is eyeing control of TSMC with a Taiwan takeover

I spoke of this many times over the years and was dismissed out of hand for my sheer audacity. Well I bloody told you so fuck you!! The West needs to start thinking PDQ about this, TMSC is wanting to build a foundry in the US that needs to be done as soon as possible as well as moving 5 nm and 3 nm technology away from the Chicunt's grasp. You've been warned.

What is the one company that could throw the world into disarray if it were to lose its independence and end up a pawn in the current geopolitical chess match? No, it is not Apple although it is a company that counts Apple as its number one client. That last clue might have given it away.

The answer is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company LTD better known as TSMC. The foundry manufactures chips for some of the biggest and most important names in tech including Apple, AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, MediaTek, Qualcomm, and more. We've already seen what happens when there is a global chip shortage so you can imagine what might take place if the Chinese attempt to take over Taiwan and end up controlling the world's largest foundry.
What would happen to the global economy if China was able to take control of TSMC?

Taiwan produced 63% of the world's semiconductors in 2019 compared to the 12% share belonging to the U.S. Last year, China delivered 16% of the world's semiconductors.
According to Fox News, experts are worried about what China might do if it were able to take control of TSMC and in effect, much of the global semiconductor industry. The largest fear among U.S. lawmakers is that it would give the Communist Chinese government leverage over the countries that it trades with.

That has nothing to do with the Communist Party being determined to bring Taiwan back into the fold.

so China winds up controlling the rare earths and the manufacture of semiconductors as well?
China rules the world ,and they aren't going to be concerned with niceties like our over-emphasis on "democracy"
I'm glad I'll be dead before I become a serf for the CCP

they will use it for sure.
That's the goal of the One Belt One Road initiative as well

Five more TSMC chip plants planned in U.S. expansion

TSMC has been working to build a $12 billion chip factory in Arizona, one that was originally announced in May 2020 and that the company has been busy raising funds to construct. However, it may not be the only project TSMC is planning to build in the United States.

According to three sources of Reuters, TSMC is looking into potentially adding another five facilities in Arizona alongside the existing project in Phoenix.

One source claims the increase in facilities is a response by the U.S. government request, though didn't go into details. "Internally, TSMC is planning to build up to six fabs," said the source.

In April, TSMC took part in a White House virtual summit alongside other tech executives and chip producers, one that aimed to find ways to ease the global semiconductor shortage. The Biden administration aims to spend tens of billions of dollars to raise the level of domestic chip production, which TSMC may also be eligible to receive.

A second source hinted that the location of the other facilities could be very near to the current project, with TSMC said to have already ensured there was enough land available for expansion.

As for how long it could take for the fabs, the third source said TSMC had advised a supplier the plan was to construct the six facilities over the next three years. chip plants planned in U.S. expansion

Of course it has ffs, it's a mighty big pawn in the global chess game China is playing. I thought you were more clued up than that!!

Do you not understand China at all?

That is not their motivation re Taiwan, they would demand unification if the islands were covered in sheep not people....what is on the land has nothing to do with it.
