People really blow out of proportion the importance of TSMC. Taiwan is valuable to the west because of its strategic location. TSMC could disappear tomorrow and the US will still have to defend it. The day Taiwan fall is the day the US loses its dominance.

> out of proportion

As if TSMC were not absolutely critical. Samsung declares "we'd like to be able to match their capabilities" in public statements.

You would need to develop more on the topic "a world without TSMC: solutions and fallbacks".
