#Taiwan #China #semiconductors
Some considerable time ago, when the interwebs were all a-buzz about Pelosi's visit to Taiwan and I mentioned that TSMC was the main good reason for any American leader to go there, the push-back at the time was that chips weren't as important as all that. Up comes "60 Minutes" only TODAY to talk about life in Taiwan in which was mentioned the "silicon shield" aka the "chip shield". It's been a long time coming but now comes the time when I can say I TOLD YOU SO.
Commencing to be insufferably smug for the rest of the day.
