Disable TSMC Fabs If China Invades
January 10, 2022
The U.S. Army War College published a 2021 paper suggesting that, in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, TSMC’s fabs should be destroyed.
“An automatic mechanism might be designed, which would be triggered once an invasion was confirmed,” says the paper.
“China’s high-tech industries would be immobilised at precisely the same time the nation was embroiled in a massive war effort,” adds the paper, “even when the formal war ended, the economic costs would persist for years.”
