TSMC and China: Mutually assured destruction now measured in nanometers, not megatons

Re: Sure....

If China takes Taiwan it would still have a major problem - TSMC depends on ASML (Netherlands) who themselves depend on ZEISS (Germany). Without replacement parts from those companies, TSMC woud soon grind to a halt.

TSMC also depends on ultra pure chemical suppliers many of which are not on Taiwan
