Or most likely, although TSMC is a very important global company even it has very little influence over the Communist Chinese government and is a very small player in a geopolitical sense.
I guess Mark Liu (TSMC) doesn't care if Taiwan eventually gets invaded by China.
What? AMD and Nvidia chips are made outside of the US, if the US made that demand they would be unable to buy anything, the US government does not buy so much as to be able to make that demand and if they did they would just get laughed at. They would either have to cave or put up with old outdated equipment.If the US demands all CPU and GPU made for US/US Gov are made in US terrority it will happen. AMD and Nvidia have US Gov contracts and are US companies anyway.

Irish_adam is right, they would get laughed at making that demand. What leverage does the gov't have? The gov't doesn't spend enough to make that a financially viable option for any company that isn't already doing it. Even if they did, who would they choose if everyone refused? They can't threaten to exclusively buy from US only fab company X if X doesn't exist.If the US demands all CPU and GPU made for US/US Gov are made in US terrority it will happen.

Why, do you think that he trusts the United States to do anything about it after they hung the Kurds out to dry? I don't believe for a second that Trump would even lift a finger to help a fellow member of NATO. That's how far the reputation of the USA has plummeted. Nobody sees it as the beacon of liberty it once was because, it isn't. The internet has allowed the world to see things as they truly are and the apparition that the Statue of Liberty created for the USA has been known to be just that for well over a decade now.I guess Mark Liu (TSMC) doesn't care if Taiwan eventually gets invaded by China.
