It was his choice...

"The individual who went to China to assist the government in chip development is not working on the most advanced technology. Meanwhile, the Taiwanese government ensures its citizens' basic human rights, allowing them to pursue any job freely as long as it does not conflict with the country's vital interests."

there are thousands of chinese/taiwanese nationals that have moved to mainland china to work. out of all those people, she picked the one guy who had some reservations about it but yet still doing it. Its hard to propagandize a rational choice of making a living aka self interest making 3x+ the salary, into some dystopian option that china offers.

its also pretty obvious or extremely likely the "company" he works for is TSMC

We keep hearing about China threats on MSN but never about this. By Cristian A. Rodriguez "As a Colonialist Empire the United States annexed the Kingdom of Hawaii by force, colonizing it and then imposing by military force the US sovereignty over an independent state. Later the US waged another war to join the colonial powers, this time against the now weak and decaying Spanish Empire. Taking Puerto Rico, Guam, Philippines." And this Okinawa was also an independent country that was invaded and annexed by japan, who then proceeded to completely wipe out it’s unique culture. Okinawa and the rest of the Ryukyus are their own thing...but unlike Taiwan, Japan isn't villianized so people don't care -Fred Leeland "We protests every single day against the US and Japan occupation of Okinawa. Our voices are ignored. We're being overwrite by the Japanese and Westerners" -Rob Kajiwara. 260 million bombs being dropped on a small defenceless country. The most heavily bombed country in history. The culprit portrays itself as the champion of human rights. Hypocrisy. -user-rr9rt9qj4k Laos Railway: America bombs, China builds (FULL DOCUMENTARY) 😅

It's ok. The Senator is a bit ignorant on the topic. Zero chance we can find enough qualified and workers that will take a cost effective pay for a mass amount of new Fabs. Taiwan via TSMC will dominate manufacturing in Taiwan still.

Taiwan would be less safe if the US couldn't produce it's own chips. In the scenario of an invasion Taiwan would need missiles, which require chips. If their fabs are damaged or destroyed in the first strike, the USA will need to produce their own to supply Taiwan.

@@HKim0072 Yea Taiwans not going anywhere in this industry.

The silicon shield, is normally what it’s referred to since the 80s" Taiwan's big mistake was not negotiating a rock solid military protection agreement with the US before they allowed TSMC to build high end fabs in Arizona, Japan and Germany...and not to weakly accept the current ambiguous "protection" the US talks about. ...which only means the US will drop Taiwan in a New York minute once enough chips are being produced outside Taiwan....and if Taiwan still maintains it's dominance of high end chip production, the US will tax Taiwan chips so they will cost more than US, Japanese or Korean chips as they poach Taiwan chip engineers en masse as they stop mentioning about protecting Taiwan and talk more about "America first" when reporters ask about protecting Taiwan from China. it will be then that Taiwan will realize that the Silicon Shield was sold out under their feet by TSMC and the DPP.

They didn't give the US their latest fab design. We are making basically one or two generations behind them (I work at Intel)

@@user-gs3tq6bx2u Sounds like standard rubbish from the random user bot account. Putting tariffs on Taiwanese chips is the last thing the US will do because that cost is passed onto US consumers which will increase the price of everything. The fabs TSMC are building around the world are not as advanced as their own, they are basically small insurance the world economy doesn't collapse if China invades Taiwan. Manufacturing costs will always be higher in the US than any of those other places because workers are paid much more in the US. A $50b investment in a couple of US fabs isn't even close to being able to overtake the Taiwanese market position.

@@HyzersGR "Sounds like standard rubbish from the random user bot account." I assure you Hyzer, I'm real (but, just to make sure, I pinched myself..yep. I'm real) Hyzer says " damn, ChatGPT is getting better everyday!"

Protecting Taiwan is crucial due to its significance in chip production and strategic location. The Taiwan Strait serves as a vital shipping route and Taiwan acts as the first barrier for China to prevent easy access to US territories.

Hi George. I understand why you say that. But I don't think it's possible. It's a bicycle vs race car situation. People can't catch up. Russia is buying Iranian missile, not because they don't have the explosives, but they don't have the chips for guidance. It's also, one of the reasons, why they're stealing so many washing machines from Ukrainian houses-they need chips inside for their tanks. To replicate the Taiwan advantage, basically a country would need to kidnap several thousand people, somehow steal dozens and dozens of campus building with the machinery that assembles, terabytes of stolen software and Intellectual property, and also silicon processing plants. It's impossible. That's why China wants ALL of Taiwan, you have to absorb the whole country to posses the supply chain from raw sand to completed wafers. And everybody else, is too far behind; it's like if the island of Papua New Guinea wanted to compete with NASA.

@@BobKnight-mm2ze That's hard to say

it's the projected selling cost of a company buyout not the actual valuation or how much $ they have in the bank. Apple would be far higher than theirs.

Have you considered that it’s because Nvidia is in the business of selling GPUs, and not semiconductors? *Edit:* Additionally, even TSMC is valued at over $600 billion. Wall Street valuations are not exactly equal to the size of the market for physical product purchases.

Samsung, Blackrock, TSMC and Intel for instance. It's maybe time to nationalize it though if Trump gets elected this time.

China would pay good money for semiconductor control. The lasers come from the US of the machine. Guess who bought the company who made the lasers in the US and most of their supply chain? ASML owns it. I'm sure the Chinese could reverse engineer that blueprint considering they make more lasers than the US. Germany makes the lenses at Zeiss. Our biggest ally in Europe. We even have a joint tank battalion with Germany. Don't expect much help from them. They would benefit massively from making chips too. Those are the most important parts.

But if USA left Afganistán after 20 years to the Talibans. China just need to wait. And they will not invade. They will do like in Hongkong

And if you look at the data you will find out that China has about 10x GDP and people compared to Russia. Not only that, your numbers are wrong. Most analysts predict anything between 300k to 1m manpower loss for China, which would be about 1x to 3x of the russian losses in the war so far.

Taiwan is a island that 20 times smaller than Ukraine, a better comparison for Taiwan would be Crimea, which didn`t cost much for Russia to annex it

@@freethinker810 But Taiwan is much more prepared for war than Ukraine was in 2021, and also an American intervention (with potential Japanese, Filipino and Korean support) is basically guaranteed in case of invasion. The terrain is also pretty damn harsh to the invader, there are very few good beaches for landing and the central mountainous regions are perfect to stage a resistance, also they heavily complicate the invader's logistics. Ukraine's border with Russia is basically a huge flatland, yes it's much larger but it's also much easier to manoeuvre tanks and other heavy vehicles in it, on top of offering much less cover. The true problem of Taiwan is that basically 90% of the population lives in areas that will be directly involved in the fighting, the west coast facing China. Which means that regardless of whether they ultimately win or lose the war, they still lose, as they will end up a broken country regardless, with literally all of their industry destroyed and who knows how many citizen unalived.
