Moore's Law is not about the size of lithography .. but the number of transistors double every 1.5/2 years. You still could do that with the same size of litography ... 3D Chip is one of the options

This gonna be long road ahead. US sanction is targeted. Many Chinese company including SOE still using TSMC as their foundry. If US full ban Chinese company from using TSMC, war will breakouts.
Its required trade of in diplomatic level. So far China doesn't have enough card in their hand to play out. for example many US big tech company is defense contractor, but China government doesn't dare to sanction them in ground of national security. company like TI,IBM,Microsoft,Airbus,Boeing heck even E&Y(auditor) is defense contract neither of this company get banned except Boeing subsidiary.
There is no remedies in current situation. As Huawei sanction, Xiaomi get profit. High end Xiaomi still using Qualcomm. US company profit and spend more money on research while Chinese company need to cut R&D budget. Gap become widen if product didn't sell to market. Big company like Huawei easy to find new growth and profit model but supply chain devastated. Its not easy to restarted supply chain again even US lift sanction near future.
Are you suggesting that the Taiwanese will destroy their own TSMC facilities in the case of forceful reunification? Even in that case, there won't be a TSMC for the West either.
I think reunification through peaceful means is not plausible, close to fantasy.
I think China needs to act on Taiwan together with Russia's action on Ukraine. The longer China waits, the less the chances. Taiwan's military becomes more damaging. The US now disregards one China policy and is strengthening diplomatic ties with Taiwan. Next step might be that the US includes Taiwan in the Quads and deploys military weapons and troops in Taiwan. Doing nothing means the US will take all.
Taiwan would absolutely blow up the TSMC foundries if it saw that defeat was inevitable. And in case you didn't notice, the US has blackmailed TSMC and it is now building foundries in Arizona (I think..) so that it can have domestic capacity and to recruit(brain drain..) Taiwanese employees
If a company really wants to sell to China, wouldn't it be possible by moving to another country? Countries can block foreign takeover of their companies, but they can't block their companies leaving the country, can they?
Just destroy TSMC. Starting from afresh, America will suffer more.
No it's not limited to that. TSMC is setting up shop in the US are they not?
I doubt a forceful reunification will end up with TSMC on Taiwan intact. Do you think it will be?
Russia's action in Ukraine will be ignored by the west in terms of military action. If they won't ignore it, they wouldn't be delaying Ukraine from joining NATO and the defence pact. Forceful reunification with Taiwan may or may not be the correct move and is certainly fraught with danger and uncertainty. Just because peaceful means is not plausible according to your opinion, doesn't mean China goes in guns blazing and risk all the build up for little return. Face it, Taiwan means very little beyond the sanctity of Chinese sovereignty and symbolic of its completed transformation from the "old China" into the new. In terms of material value, it is like risking 99% for a 1% gain. A fool's gambit.
I just wanted to point out how stupid it sounds to believe that a war on Taiwan would claim some TSMC tech. China's overcoming of EUV and EPA isn't limited to "must conquer Taiwan".
US owns Taiwan pretty much. If they didn't why would Taiwan set up TSMC in US at the behest of the US? Why would TSMC comply with bans which take money away from their pockets?
If Taiwan allows US to deploy military assets on its land, then that's another issue. Of course that would push mainland into reunification through force.
Sometimes I feel a lot of you new members are hot headed and underinformed adolescents with no grasp on reality.
Well the company can transfer its global HQ outside EU to sell if necessary. However China might want access to the employees as well as patents, facilities etc, and not just a shell company.
There are still ways to sell but it would need significant efforts from the Italian company and so it may as well lower its price by 100m Euros and just sell to another company
