ASML Holding NV and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. have ways to disable the world’s most sophisticated chipmaking machines in the event that China invades Taiwan, according to people familiar with the matter.

Officials from the US government have privately expressed concerns to both their Dutch and Taiwanese counterparts about what happens if Chinese aggression escalates into an attack on the island responsible for producing the vast majority of the world’s advanced semiconductors, two of the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Have a confidential tip for our reporters?

Your opinion on this matter depends on your opinion of China (PRC, CCP regime) and what kind of country it is.

Nothing more needs to be said.

TSMC is not stupid lah. In case of a Taiwan invasion by China and even if without any instigation from America, they would have already planned to destroy all their technically sophisticated machines on the spot. Since they are already incorporating their highest tech knowhow in Japan and the US, as well as soon to be in Germany, they won't be wiped out from the map even if without Taiwan. And they definitely don't need another equivalent competitor from China, which will then totally cripple their business in the future.

Instead of worrying what China might or might not do in future, I suggest the countries who are capable to start taking the fight to China on its turf.

Destroy its infrastructure, annihilate its economy, bring investments, factories and people out of it, 5000% tariffs on all imported Chinese goods, no-fly zones in the South China Sea, naval blockades blocking all shipments of food, fuel and medicine.

And it would be the cherry on top of the cake if Russia can be convinced to backstab China from the north. Let the Ruskies annex the Dongbei three provinces, the women there are whores anyway. :cool:

The yanks have only themselves to blame for outsourcing the production of such critical components to other countries
That was why SG can raise from 3rd world to 1st world mah....u benefited as well de woh?

Of course,boss John benefitted more than anyone here lah

like many many saw hei say before....Fittest Survived.

But u really think it is true?????????

This world is more complex than what saw hei BBFQ simpleton can imagine

the spectrafilm metrology machines that enable tsmc to make <6.9nm chips are supplied by kla-tencor which is based in sillycon valley. without these advanced metrology systems tsmc cannot be what it is today as a semiconductor manufacturing powerhouse.

U have to understand...Tiongkok best stealth fighter J20 is only available in 2018.

Murika achieve similar tech nearly 20yrs nearer with F22.
