Both NVIDIA and Apple derive much of their wealth from off-shored manufacturing to… drumroll… China! (PRC+ROC)

If China decides to take over Taiwan and nationalises TMSC, redirecting their top tier silicon to 100% Chinese companies then what are the American firms worth?

If China takes over Taiwan, TMSC's assets are being reduced to rubble before Taiwan's first shot back.

Which is why Taiwan is safe until china can produce domestically because their power comes from exports.

China is not going to sabotage themselves like that.

China would be mad to destroy the most valuable building on that island.

I doubt Taiwain would bomb themselves.

I can't see anyone in the US acting like this either.
