Taiwan has "forbidden" TSMC to manufacture 2nm chips in foreign lands, as the nation needs to protect its "exclusive" technologies.

    CHIPS was always going to be a giveaway for nothing. It reminds me of that FoxConn CEO’s quote about the fact that the US could pay them to fab in America but nothing would actually come of it. Then they just dropped that $10B Wisconsin project as soon as possible.

    That was under Trump. Biden literally saw this and doubled down thinking that TSMC would roll over.

    Ah, there it is. America is angling to make Taiwan irrelevant by stealing chip tech. Feels like I’ve been taking crazy pills as nobody anywhere else talks about this. Taiwan would do well to protect themselves from imperialists. There’s nobody looking out for them except themselves.

    Everyone (meaning western discourse) is all giddy as if America is saving Taiwan. Soon as they taken chip making tech, Taiwan becomes irrelevant to America.

    “Hello, Mr Biden? Hello, Mr Trump? It’s Taiwan”
    “Tai-who? *click*”
