They will buy it, that's how stupid TSMC management is, being a monopoly they should not lock themselves to a single customer which are the US company, surrendering their bargaining power. People may argue that TSMC had no choice on the matter as they were reliant on the Collective west, DUH!!!! the same can be said the other way around in fact the Collective West is in dire need of their technology and production.Biden's chip subsidy drama continues. It looks like Intel once again won't be getting that sweet subsidy. If anyone at TSMC still thinks they'll be able to get anything from US government, I got a bridge in Antarctica to sell them.
