this is not to say that intel will be manufacturing competitive chips to what TSMC is.

are you worried that china will invade taiwan, and then somehow taiwan will still be around to prevent the US fabs from making the best chips?

its a bit far fetched

If Intel isn’t manufacturing chips, what US manufacturer comes close? You can’t just build a close to leading edge manufacturing facility in a month

it's not like the technology to produce these chips are a drop-in replacement

the threat Taiwan faces is existential, and one of the only things that the US has at stake are these chips
