let’s be real, If TSM chips were made in US, your iphone 8 would cost 5000 USD

Why don't journalist ask him if he is willing to let Taiwan go if Xi doubles the chips?

[scottgordon]

Taiwan has paid already, waiting many years for supply . TSMC is already spread, HI tech is still in Taiwan . if DT wants to give that up ? Apart from a major base in the SCS ?

FYI, Taiwan still waiting for billion$ of weaponry order that is yet to be delivered, because the US has to supply Ukraine first, for free.
Taiwan's military orders have been priced above all other countries.
Taiwan does not get to buy the latest and best. E.g., F-16V is top fighter purchasable by Taiwan

What Taiwan's TSMC sells is servility. I don't believe that if we transfer the chip industry to the US, we can still get cheap chips. RTX5090 may cost $6, 000

Back in the day, it was the Republicans there were favored by Taipei for their staunch defense of Taiwan. Times are changing indeed. God bless and protect both countries. ❤️🇹🇼🇺🇲
