The US would sooner see TSMC fabs destroyed than fall into Chinese hands should Xi Jinping invade Taiwan, according to a former national security advisor to the Trump administration.
“The United States and its allies are never going to let those factories fall into Chinese hands," Robert O’BrienIn O’Brien’s mind, a successful invasion of Taiwan would reposition China as the leading semiconductor manufacturing power almost overnight. Or as he put it, China would become “the new OPEC of silicon chips.” O’Brien contends the US will destroy Taiwanese fabs to prevent China from gaining the technological advantage.
Of course, doing so would have severe consequences for the world economy. Last year the US National Security AgencyThe former advisor’s comments breathe new life intothat the US would enact a scorched-earth policy to prevent sensitive semiconductor tech from falling into Chinese hands. While the current and former president don’t align on many policy issues, both have taken a hawkish stance against the Chinese semiconductor industry during their tenures. In fact, the current administration has taken a considerably harsher stance with regard to the Middle Kingdom’s domestic semiconductor industry.
