Yeah, and when China decides destroy their fabs with missiles. What are are you going to do then. In case you don't know, missile defense doesn't actually work well.
Well obviously if China wants to cripple the world's chip supply that would suck. They're not going to be allowed to control them though. Those fabs are rigged to be physically bricked if China is close to capturing TSMC anyways.
I don't think China will destroy the very thing they're trying to capture.
China would like the fabs but it's not the fabs that drives them to re-unify with Taiwan. That desire pre-dates the fabs by decades.
No, but trivial to shutdown fabs by destroying power infra down the chain. Capturing fabs that run on sanctionable supply chains to get look at hardware is secondary to PRC preserving fabs as barginning chip to restart semi production once countdown to western hightech industrial collapse starts ticking.
Is it possible to move fabs to bunkers? I know nothing about fabs so I know my question is probably naive.
