The tariffs would ensnare cutting-edge smartphone and PC-related chips for Apple, AMD and Nvidia if enacted. But Trump is betting his plan will bring more chip production to the US.
I have heard they are rigged with explosives, but that could just be hearsay. I wouldn’t work in a building rigged with explosives. I also don’t understand why TSMC would voluntarily self-destruct in such a situation. I don’t get the incentive.
It’s removing “gaining control of TSMC” from the lists of reasons for China to invade, making the whole operation less attractive. Though the more the US tries to deny China access to advanced chips, the less that disincentive matters.
Ohh. Hmm. It’s far-fetched but I suppose it’s plausible.
