    This is a good thing, but it’s hardly unique. Any advanced manufacturing facility will have remote access to their equipment in case an operator needs reconfigure it, transfer data, or in this case if they’re invaded by Lesser Taiwan.

      I’m assuming “disable” in this case is slightly more than just turning it off. I wouldn’t be surprised if the building isn’t left standing after it’s “disabled” here.

      This sounds more like a deadman switch.

      I hope its a little better than remote access to disable. Internet access can be knocked out and cell signals jammed. Hopefully they’ve gorba deadman switch and disable things immediately in the event of an invasion.

      China should just replicate Taiwan somewhere like they replicate Paris, Venice, etc. and call it a day.

        China already had 53% global market share in semiconductors back in 2020

      West Taiwan friend. Lesser sounds odd when it’s more populated and geographically larger. Though inferior sounds fitting
