Faced with the very real probability of a complete embargo on sales of IC chips and IC chips and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, the mostly highly complacent Chinese semiconductor utilizing companies have seen it as thoroughly in their interests to be patrons to Chinese makers of chips and IC chips and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Fact is Biden is doubling down on Trump's policy. I think the possibility for a truce is zero.
Think it is high time Xi Jinping picks the phone and puts some sense in Tsai Ing-wen's head explaining to her there is a very short term for her to use the strength of Taiwan's chip industry to get back to mainland's bosom.
The moment mainland China becomes self sufficient, bye bye TSMC. bye bye Taiwan.
And do you have any hopes the US will lift a finger to help Taiwan once China doesn't need Taiwan anymore? Do you have any hopes the US will lift an eyebrow once it also has factories producing the chips in the US?
One way of another, Taiwan is screwed up. It's only hope of maintaining any relevance will be to willingly and peacefully being brought back under mainland's shelter.
TSMC medium to long term future looks gloomy. It will miss out on the domestic Chinese market, because that is definitely going the way of Chinese domestic IC chip makers heavy domination, as China will ABSOLUTELY NO LONGER permit itself to be vulnerable to potential embargoes by any other country or entity. TSMC could actually support Chinese IC chip equipment and semiconductor manufacturing equipment in producing high in demand mature nodes and also present absolute state of the art and future ones, all as a quid pro quo to obtain a fairly decent market share of the domestic Chinese market, so as to purchase such equipment to produce chips for companies that make motorized vehicles, consumer electronics appliances, telecommunications equipment, and various types of manufacturing machinery, and metrological equipment.
That stable genius was the best thing that any guidelines, subsidies, and even pilot plants, and experimental prototype of equipment made by the Chinese State could do under Made in China 2025, to actually push Chinese companies into pursuing Made in China 2025. He clearly demonstrated the reality of the probability of China and Chinese companies facing a tech embargo and that the rationale or logic of least financial cost and doing what is most profitable all the time could not be assured. He gave Chinese companies such as Huawei a slap in the face for them to snap out of their liberal free market toeing mindset.
It can choose between that and most likely dying in the medium term.
Looks like they can pickup some telecom related info on a TED cruise.
Of course, there is a trap to adopting global standards, @gadgetcool5, as you probably know quite well. Many of these are protected by expensive patents. China might adopt some of the standards anyway, but must be free to set its own conventions when necessary.
Loongson 3A5000 seems to be progressing. Supposely competitive to 6th gen intel cpu and a variety of compilers (GCC, LLVM, GoLang ) and virtual runtimes (Java, JavaScript, and NET ) have been implemented.
