If China takes Taiwan, they will sanction everyone and send us back to the stone ages. Intel is 5 years behind TSMC, which is basically eons in tech years. Taiwan seems to slign with USA. CEO of TSMC studied @ MIT and worked for Texas Instruments.
Everyone needs to read up on TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company). They specialize in mass manufacturing microchips for all the major tech companies and militaries, whereas other companies also make like dishwashers and shit.
