Thank you all for watching this and bringing up tons of good points and information in the comments that I left out/hadn't considered. This is a really complex subject and there are tons of other variables that I did not bring up that you can read people discussing below. With that being said, if you haven't heard, I have 13 extra full-length videos with over 4 hours of combined content covering recent conflicts and crises in my Modern Conflicts series on Nebula, which you can get for 26% off here: curiositystream.com/?coupon=reallifelore Completely optional, but it really helps this channel out a ton. Thanks again!
You make good content! I hope to see more good videos in the future 🙂
I know recent events have had you VERY busy with this channel's content (to say nothing of what you're doing on Nebula), but were you going to keep making videos for Bioark? Just looking to confirm.
Um what about nukes? What if china nukes Taiwan?
@@aim_da_idiot666 China won't nuke Taiwan, because then it would conquer a radioactive pile of rubble in exchange for getting sanctions and hostility from the rest of the planet. it's a lose-lose scenario for them.
@@aim_da_idiot666 The media blows up the idea of a nuclear bomb. When you drop a nuke sides are radicalized, either completely with you or destined to destroy all of what remains of you. People join against you. Nuclear bombs in the 21st century bring more people against you, not repel them.
A nuclear bomb is not something you can casually drop. It requires perfect planning, ahead of time foresight to predict consequences, and have defenses stationed at people that can oppose you instead of fighting the battle you are now.
Wait so is Taiwan ahead of literally everyone on the tech tree? Is there some secret advanced technique that allows them and only them to produce the best semiconductors?
Yo hi TierZoo
Because they're smarter than us
Yes, they are nazis on drugs talking to aliens.
Centralised production is a pretty op tech
Maybe they're just ahead of everyone because they were fist and kept going at it?
Fun fact:NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang and AMD’s CEO Lisa Su they both are Taiwanese and they are related.
I've seen lots of content on this subject, and this is one of the best articulated summaries I've seen.
i like hearing your voice while discussing and talking about what had happened outside world❤
As Taiwanese, we often nickname TSMC as "the holy mountain that protects nation (護國神山)" because of its strong semiconductor industry that made our country prosperous. but I guess this nickname is becoming more and more a reality now.
How does the average Taiwanese person feel about mainland China and the CCP? Do you worry about being invaded one day?
@@wilhelmbittrich88 I would say half of TW people don't like China, and the other half hold neutral to positive opinions. When it comes to CCP, definitely most TW people don't like it (80% maybe), let alone governed by it.
@@spplkk60906 想多了，不了解中国就不要乱说话
Man, if possible, get out, just get out from there
I'm also curious about the thoughts of people living in Taiwan. But I think I can say with confidence that no one wants war, not even the mainland. I feel the desire to unify China is as legitimate as the desires to unify Germany and unify Ireland. Just like those Germans and Irish, the Chinese don't want to see any more bloodshed.
我是一个海外华人（现在是第三代移民，哈哈），我很想知道你对这种情况有什么看法。(对不起，我的中文很奇怪，而且用的是简体字）理想情况下，我希望大陆和岛屿之间能够分享权力，但这似乎极不可能。
我知道没有人愿意被迫生活在他们不熟悉的事物之下。但我想知道，难道没有人对统一的中国有感情吗？ 至少是对台湾方面有利的？
如果我的措辞令人困惑或无礼，我很抱歉。我无意造成任何冒犯。m(_ _)m
It's interesting that you did not mention Japan's commitment to the defense of Taiwan and their participation in the Quad. They are usually discounted, but their presence in or near the Yellow Sea would require China to maintain some PLA force in the North, limited what can be devoted to Taiwan. In addition, India's membership in this pretty much assures that the moment China engages Taiwan their oil is cut off, meaning that the attack would have to be lightning fast. It's not just the US that China needs to worry about, in other words, and that is significant.
I don't think India would do much though
India's response then would be similar to what has been the case with the Russo-Ukrainian War
Don't forget India is a member of BRICS too

It would be insane to witness a world war with 21st century technology being used on both sides. So many videogames try to portray "futuristic warfare," but seeing it happen for real just seems unfathomable in a modern sense. We're kind of at a point as a species where war between industrialized nations is just bad for everyone involved.
everyone talks about 21st century technology but no 21st century technology can beat 20th century technology (nuclear weapons)
That's basically why they day itll escalate to a world war. North Korea, and Russia dont have a Modernized Military for a world war 3. They'd just use Nukes to establish dominance. Conventional warfare wouldnt work to well. As you see in Ukraine
A Malay idiom succinctly surmise, "When two giant elephants do battle with one another, the mousedeer dies trapped in the middle of it."
@@FiredAndIced isn’t that Kenyan?
I live in Taiwan. Here people said why TSMC is so advance, because they have 24 hours researching, and many people died from over working, they said it just like China xinjiang camps, but very will paid compare to other Taiwan industrys. and 100% if you are working there alot of Taiwanese girls want to fuck you and marry you.
I had no clue Taiwan controlled all those tiny island right next to China...
because when Taiwan broke away, they had a much more powerful navy than the PRC. And even though that isnt true anymore, Taiwan had control of them before so now attacking them would mean war.
Those islands would leave Taiwan for the PRC the moment war breaks out.
What’s interesting is, they’re called Fujian province. And there’s also a Fujian province in PRC.
When PRC likes to say Taiwan is a province of China. It is not wrong, Taiwan is a province under ROC.
Hi, I'm from Taiwan. I once lived on Matsu islands when I was little. Matsu Islands are composed of many small islands. I lived on Nangan island which is the biggest island of Matsu. It was a decent place. The seafood was delicious, and the views were great. Until now, Matsu islands are totally under Taiwanese government control. People can vote for their own president and have freedom of speech there, just like in Taiwan (unlike the PRC). Btw, I live in Taipei now.
Interesting fact that the Republic of China （taiwan）controls some islands off the coast of Chinese mainland shows that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are still in a state of civil war. In fact, according to the Constitution of the Republic of China. Chinese mainland people are still citizens of the Republic of China.but civil rights are frozen.
Very good video! Thanks
awesome video !!
This was really good so many people oversimplify the situation as being "well if Russia would have taken Ukraine then China would have immediately gone after Taiwan", completely forgetting that the Taiwan situation is vastly more complicated.
As for me situation in my country is more complicated than in Taiwan.The first of all because we are recognised by all world,also we export lots of wheat and the most important that this war is going in Europe.
But anyway it's my opinion, maybe I am not right somewhere:)
Taiwan is a lot more prepared than Ukraine for war. Their doctrine is based on the all but guaranteed intervention of the US. Slow any invasion down to a couple of days so the Pacific Fleet can get involved. At that point, short of going nuclear, China will lose the invasion. Nukes have problems of their own though, likely destroying the delicate equipment in the fabs via electromagnetic forces. It would defeat the purpose of invading by destroying Taiwan's semiconductor industry.
China is far stronger than Russia and USA.
The difference is all there.
Western world is in dilemma. They underestimated China a lot and many still do.
But most of them are now acknowledging the reality factor.
So basically Taiwanese are ethnically Chinese. It's a civil war. Just goes to show how US sticks its nose to everyone's business

Amazing video!!!
I am rarely commenting any videos on youtube but I have to say that your videos have an insane quality and also dept of information. It can give you an impression of complex situations all around the world in just under an hour. Thanks a lot for that. Furthermore I hope that this conflict will be threatend peacefully so that no chinese or western people are harmed in any way. Best regards from Germany.
Support you my friend,from China.
Generally speaking, there will be no war in Taiwan.
Taiwanese people do not really want to break away from China. They prefer to stay between the United States and China and reap benefits from both sides. That's what they've always done, and they're very smart people. The quarrels will be loud, but the risk of war is very small.
The United States is escalating tensions across the Taiwan Strait in an attempt to trigger a local war and force international investors, such as BASF, to leave their safe haven in China and return to their destiny, the United States.
China, on the other hand, said that it would either not go to war or go to WW3 if it wanted to. This prevents the United States from achieving its strategic goals.
So you can see that politicians in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are acting very aggressively and doing everything they can to annoy China. On the one hand, they can show off in front of their American dad; on the other hand, they know very well that China will not go to war with them.
i wish nebula had a comment section because i love the modern conflict series, all those videos are great
That is the big negative to Nebula, imo. No social features of any kind (no likes/dislikes, no comments etc) makes it a much more passive viewing experience than CZcams.
The political comments regarding mainland China, Taiwan Province of China and the US are completely misleading. All political comments regarding the world and the US are all misleading in this Channel. China will never invade any country or place by force unless threatened by the US or other country’s military.
(To ALL viewers of this channel, if you want to learn what is really going on with the US imperialism now in the world, go to YT channels such as The New Atlas and Pascal Coppens. You should never believe all information on the Internet or news media without getting the other side of the story, especially involving world politics.)
It is the US who is constantly trying to steal resources and technology from other countries and trying to invade and take over Taiwan from China.
Taiwan is part of China, regardless whether it is poor or rich, it will be reunited with mainland China sometime in the future. It is the US who keeps interfering China's internal business with Taiwan and trying to push Taiwan's current gov't to declare independence, trying to make Taiwan become another victim like Ukraine for US benefits.
China will never take back Taiwan by force unless Taiwan declares independence. It is the US who wants China to "invade" Taiwan so that it can get the rest of the world to go against China. All these talks about China invading Taiwan are US's anti-China propaganda.
The US has tons of military bases surrounding China, why? If you believe the US propaganda regarding China, Russia and Communism, then you are just being misled by the US gov't. It is all about US Imperialism in wanting to control all countries and resources on our planet, under the cover of “democracy”. Any country dare to say NO will get bombs from the US.
This channel is full of false information and is probably funded by the US gov't in spreading its propaganda or the channel owner is completely brainwashed by the US propaganda.
Dadgum, I'm only halfway through the video, coming in with ludicrously high expectations, and I'm still impressed. This channel just keeps getting better and better.
This piece of work is by far the most thorough explanation of this entanglement as it dealt through every aspect of the tension among all parties involved.
very nice video
One thing to note: *ALL* EUV machines - without which the most modern foundry processes are impossible - are manufactured by ASML, a dutch company. Capturing TSMC while getting sanctioned from ASML would just doom TSMC to becoming irrelevant within a few years. I'm sure there's more upstream supply constraints elsewhere in the process if you know where to look.
Correct!
Besides ASML and it's large supply chain, you also need the mostly American chip designing companies.
And while certainly the biggest fab certainly not the only one, In a decade's time other manufacturers would have filled the void, especially since both Samsung and Intel are working with the most advanced nodes themselves.
You miss the point tho.
It will be like tsm make food for everybody.
Asml hold the resource to make those food.
You wouldn’t sanction since you will also fk yourself over.
Those semi conductor are needed and more than likely Asml will not sanction tsmc.
@@qlum ASML technology is also barred from export to China (and many other countries). I'm sure the CCP are doing their best to steal it though.
@@UnCoolDad It's really a tall order to do, It's not just ASML, but their whole supply chain. Which really is not easy to imitate, let alone keep up with. Not saying it's impossible for them to make EUV chips but there is a reason only one company on the planet is making these machines.
Love the long videos, I get into them without realizing how long they actually are because they're just so interesting. Awesome work RLL!
see the propaganda? WHY "NEXT"??? which country did China invade last? which did it bomb to shits like the US/NATO bombed Lybia, Syria, IRaq, Afghanistan, Mali, Yemen, Vietnam, Laos e.t.c.?

I live in arizona, and the TSMC plant here had TONS of bipartisan support. Arizona is investing in becoming a tech corridor, with Intel, Apple, Microsoft, Honeywell, Raytheon, and tons of other tech companies ramping up investments. The only issue is that these fabs/server warehouses uses water to cool the technology. Really interesting debates going on pertaining to all the tech investment, and what strain tech invesent has on our other resources.
Once the high end semiconductor industry takes off in the US , Taiwan will lose a significant part of it's importance for US foreign policy
Why did they choose Arizona then?
@@Ryfael our government has given a lot of tax incentives. If you're interested, look up the LG fab they want to build in Queen Creek, AZ. I also know buckeye, AZ has has a lot of tech-indistrial investment as of late. I believe the TSMC fab will be in Buckeye. Those are all more around Phoenix, I know there's a lot of tech companies in Tuscon, AZ too which is more southern. I think it Wendover was a video talking about how a lot of american car companies test vehicles for heat conditions on private roads in Tucson. Just in case you aren't from the SW USA, the biggest issue most people have is the Colorado River is at historic lows, we get most (if not all) of our water from this river and share its supply with Colorado, Nevada and some others. In Arizona we grow a lot of water intensive commodity crops (like cotton) and we are seeing huge tech fans like intels and things like Googles cloud server data base that will/does use water (I think it's called swamp cooling). Not an expert :) just a resident, and it's been reported on/discussed a lot more now that the river produces less water
@@Ryfael my guess is security and stability and local government incentives. Arizona does not have any natural disasters. No earthquakes, no hurricanes. Just very hot summers. It is inland but close enough to Mexico and California for trade and transport.
Regarding water, the AZ governor claims they have the second best water management system in the world, second only to Israel. Israel has a big tech sector and a big Intel plant and that consumes a lot of water too.
The AZ Intel fabs recycles 80% of their water usage and it is assumed TSMC will be doing the same.
AMD and Nvidia is enough for me.

Anyone Need Accountant For Any Business Transaction Purpose So Contact And i Do Work With Secretly
Don't be too impressed.
Actually, this video inflated and exaggerated Taiwan's and TSMC's importance in particular.
TSMC uses ASML machines to make their most advanced chips.
ASML machines are assembled in Europe, the Netherlands (Dutch).
The technology and the most critical components of the ASML machines come from California, USA.
Even if China were able to invade Taiwan and capture TSMC intact, before Taiwanese sabotage or destroyed by American cruise missiles in the middle of the night, it wouldn't be long (2 or 3 years) before those ASML machines would become obsolete.
Capturing TSMC and the current ASML machines would not make China the most technologically advanced country in the world, at least, not for long.
That's a bunch of BS.
But most likely, TSMC factories would be destroyed, one way or another, before the Chinese communists ever produced a single chip from them.
@David
That's not a fact. It's a lie.
The fact is, Taiwan is an island off the coast of mainland China.
The UN does not treat Taiwan as a Chinese province, because China has no control over Taiwan, and cannot speak for Taiwan. Taiwan does not take orders from China. So any country that wants to communicate with Taiwan has to do so directly with the Taiwanese government. The CCP has no authority in Taiwan. The 2 governments are completely separate from each other. Everyone knows that.
Sanctions and trade deals with China do not apply to Taiwan. Trade deals with Taiwan are separate and different from what we have with China. The US sells weapons to Taiwan, but not to China. They are both treated as different countries. That's a fact.
The Republic of China refers to China from 1912 - 1949, before it was stolen by the CCP. The Republic of China does not recognize the CCP or the People's Republic of China as the legitimate government of China.
You could also say that Taiwan is China, but it is a part of China that is not under the rule of, or governed by the CCP or the People's Republic of China. Taiwan China is a different country governed by a democratic government, not communist, called the Republic of China. It is a separate country, not a province of mainland China, ruled by the communists. Taiwan China is not governed by the CCP or PRC.
What do you mean the US is "holding Taiwan hostage against China"?
What stupid nonsense is that?
What is that supposed to mean?
@David
In 2019, Xi Jinping said "Taiwan must and will be reunited with China."
In that statement, Xi inadvertently acknowledged that Taiwan is not a part of China. Therefore, Taiwan is not a province of China.
It’s kinda scary when seeing the raise of AI, since what they can do compare to humans will give whoever owns a major edge.
Gosh, this video just makes me want to play some Civilization 6 and simulate this whole situation...
I love the map view. Gives the audience a clear prespective.
One more point. TSMC goes for 1-2 nanometers, but at it is most likely the maximum that can be squeezed out of silicon. Whoever switches first to a more promising an entirely different base element for semiconductors would most likely change and dominate the landscape of chip manufacturing.
however - noone has any clue what would be "more promising" option.
Virtually all other attempts have been either worse performance wise cause frankly you need to use smaller atom then silicon... and there isnt anything really promising in the periodic table before it.
This ^
@@Paerigos Graphene is probably going to replace silicon imo but my info is a bit old, i've been waiting for them to figure out the manufacturing problems for a decade now with no joy.
@@edwin6406 graphene has certain issues... It's incredibly difficult to make it act as semiconductor on scale equivalent to few silicon atoms.
Carbon atoms alone can not do it. So you need graphene structure... Which.. is large... The smallest "transistor" like structure is larger then what is achievable with silicon using XUV. And there is one extra issue with graphene... You can't work it well with XUV litography.
Carbon bonds are broken easily by short wavelengths. Destroying the structure.
And frankly unless you start building CPUs atom by atom there is not much tech avaible how to work carbon.
In this particular regard silicon is much superior material. Just for ease of manufacturing.
Like maybe graphene could be worked with by relativistic electron beams...
But synchrotrons would take ages and laser acceleration while technicaly working has pile of issues...
Yes. Silicon cannot go below 1nm. The signals would jump gaps at that point and become useless. Graphene is being studied to overcome this. Carbon will probably be the next generation medium.
A nickle and potassium alloy is also being considered
It's like a page right out of Foundation
the TSMC plant in arizona funding was raised from 12 bil to 40 bil.
TSMC reminds me of a quote from 'Pirates of Silicon Valley': "You know how you survive? You make people need you - you survive because you make them need what you have - and then they have no where left to go."
well. TSMC and Taiwan got so important since the US shutted down Japans semiconductor industry decades ago because the US could barely challenge it.
@@semiramisubw4864 Japan's semiconductor industry is mainly focused on memory IC which is now dominated by Samsung, TSMC is manufacturing logic IC which is different from what Japan was concentrating.

usa purposefully starving china of chips.
Japan's semiconductor industry was systematically destroyed by US pressure. Never forget!
Well Taiwan is the one that needs other people more, including the Mainland since the 1980s. TSMC is just a multinational brand and Taiwan can't make the latest military electronics despite it.
Would be interesting to see what sanctions on a country that makes 90% of your household items would look like.
Mass starvation for China. It has to import a lot of basic food from elsewhere, it's the reason why we get so many "made in China" items: they get "made in not China" food.

(TLDR at the bottom)
One massive item that was missed in this wonderful video (which, in fairness to the creator, only happened a day before releasing the video) is the modernization levels of global militaries allied to the US that would be called to arms in defense of Taiwan; not just at the highest level of military-technical abilities, but what the mean technical level throughout a military is. For example, Russian military forces can field a modern infantryman, equipped with a modern rifle, optic, night vision equipment, modern body armor, and modern communication equipment. However most of the troops seen in Ukraine are seen with only parts of this list, often missing modern communication equipment, night vision equipment, optics, and so on. Thus, while Russia's peak technical ability is on par with a modern military, its mean technical ability is below average. But China has been seen fielding an ever-increasingly modern military at a higher mean technical level than Russian forces (though still below US standards), so how does this affect them? Well, it doesn't; not directly at least. Where it does affect china is in the arsenals of national armories of nations that the US might call upon as allies should they invade Taiwan, much like was seen in operation desert storm.
In recent years, criticism was leveled at many nato nations for having poorly equipped and steadily outdating militaries, however with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, many nations have been sending heavy equipment to the aid of Ukraine, with a large focus on their oldest units that are still in operation first. because of this, most European nations now have a gulf in their abilities as many of their own forces are now without equipment, mostly tanks, airplanes, artillery, and logistics. Modern equipment will need to be acquired by these nations, such as Poland, Germany, Romania, and the united kingdom, which will drastically improve their mean technical ability. Many US-allied nations have already started this process or accelerated an ongoing process, with Poland eying American f-16s or Germany green lighting f-35s.
The US military aid package of 33 billion dollars (slightly more than Australia, the 10th largest defense spender 2020 yearly defense budget) has a focus on providing the money necessary for any military who was impacted by the invasion to purchase new and modern equipment to replace anything that was sent to Ukraine. what this means for china is that if the US forms an international coalition as they did with Kuwait, the militaries they can provide will be far better equipped than they were a few months ago.
TLDR: the Russian invasion of Ukraine has sparked many US allies to modernize their militaries and the US is providing them the money needed to do so, if china invades twain and the US assembles an international coalition as they did in Kuwait, it will be far more potent than it would be currently.
China and Russias military are pretty similar to huge degree.
They would be in trouble against South Korea, Canada, Australia and the US.
To be honest most military in europe only send some spare parts.
People keep talking about US "allies" but I doubt any of those countries would actually side with the US on such a conflict. Japan has no military, South Korea would lose against North Korea in a week, and Australia relies on China for exports otherwise they are broke. Any wise small nation would prioritize making peace with their strong neighbor instead of antagonizing their powerful neighbor by the behest of a country on the other side of the world. This is the lesson Ukraine will soon learn. Doesn't matter what political disagreements you have, don't piss off a neighbor that has nukes.
@@user-wb7ez9ud4p Sorry Japan has a large military, South Korea would walk over North Korea in anything short of Nuclear war (although it would be messy in terms of civilian casualties and so is unlikely to happen).

Key facts:
1. Taiwan's DPP government does not intend to 'declare independence'. That would mean declaring independence from themselves, the Republic of China which would make no meaningful difference to the lives of Taiwanese residents.
2. Taiwan's population overwhelmingly opposes becoming a subject of Beijing. That's what happens when Beijing's policy is intimidation, and breaking promises which leads into:
3. Taiwan's population chose the DPP government in a democratic election and by extension, closer ties to the west. Their interest is in maintaining the current status quo as an independent Republic of China without the Communist Party, and the west are the only ones who have an interest in helping them in that cause.
Anyone who is against war should also support maintaining that status quo. For one to say they're against war and then side with Beijing which has vowed to change said status quo without renouncing the use of military force to do so is a direct contradiction.
This question is really a long story.
12:47 It was pretty funny for me that you said TSMC is a company you've never heard of, then I remembered not all people are into tech. If you have follow any news about modern technology, TSMC is always in the news. Even their biggest competitor, which is Samsung, uses their chips in some of their own phones.
Man I'm from Iran and I've never heard of tsmc and they have 3 to 4 times more than our GDP
Yeah snapdragon chips are manufactured by TSMC
TSMC does contract work mostly. NVIDIA and AMD use TSMC to make their gpus and cpus
I had the exact same thought, its crazy how politically important the industry has become recently, hopefully more people learn about the company.

Absolutely fantastic video! This video should be shown to every politician and every citizen to help spread the knowledge necessary for citizens to understand geopolitics just a little bit better.
To answer the person above me. Taiwan sees itself as an independent country seperatefrom Communist. It also sees itself as the original and real China since that is where China started. The government and people there see themselves as a different country. Ik you a re a ccp simp but the US is not holding Taiwan hostage. Taiwan does not want to reunite with China and it relys on the US for protection from China. Taiwanese are proud people and dislike the CCP(who constantly bullies them by sending military planes in their airspace and buy sending dredgers to Taiwans cost to steal sand and destroy reefs). Hope this cleared a lot of you misinformation up.
Awesome video :) So worth my 30 minutes. So much better then most docu's on tv nowadays.
in the game WoW，“no king rules forever my son”
Been so long since this video posted and so much to learn. Cliff notes today are basically if the Mainland declared war on Taiwan, they have like a 40% chance of being successful despite directing all of their military might at that and even if they did they would lose all of their customers, half of their fuel resources and most importantly their best and brightest in a country that already faces a drastic population fall problem to more free and democratic counties. They might take the island but the cozy creepy people in charge of China (one of the most beautiful and wonderful places on Earth btw) could not replicate within themselves what they have achieved and grown from an abundance of youth and an open welcomed attitude towards the rest of the world.
Like uncle said, It doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice. In this case the cat would not have any mice to catch.
The success of the Chinese will depend on how many countries respond. If Japan, Australia, Vietnam, the US, and the Philippines all get involved I do not foresee a very high chance for China to succeed. However, if it looks like China might successfully pull off an invasion you can bet on the US sending in cruise missiles to destroy the FAB's before China can use them.
@commanderbly5747 Japan and Australia/New Zealand would certainly respond. Philippines military and navy is tiny and mostly made up of decommissioned American boats. I would think Japan would respond and S. Korea might get to scared to so anything.
@@kc10man Australia/New Zealand fight a battel thousands of KM away from their homeland? good luck to them... Addition, War is War, once it is started, it is not up to Australia/NZ to decide where the battel field is. Sounds creepy? But for Japan, I believe China is more willing to have them involved. WWII is not ended nicely for China. China easily views it as WWII extension, so good luck!
@@commanderbly5747 FAB is nothing once the war started. The locations fired missiles or fight jets are technically war zone! The war between Taiwan and China mainland is civil war by constitutions of both sides, but war started by missiles or war ships from those countries are WW.
台湾只是以卵击石
You forgot about ASML. Which makes the machines that actually make the chips. And ASML is Dutch. If you think TSMC dominates fabs with its near monopoly, ASML has a complete 100% monopoly on the machines necessary to make the newest chips, EUV lithography machines. And they provide a lot of support to keep them running. It's not at all certain that China would be able to operate those machines if they captured them without ASMLs support, which they would not have. ASMLs machines are probably the most complicated things on the planet after particle accelerators and fusion reactors.
I was looking for this comment. Yes, without ASML, no one will be able to produce the chips with 10nm or less. ASML's support and maintenance of those machines are crucial for TSMC and other chip manufacturing companies.
And that’s where Russia comes in and take over that country lol
China can actually make Lithography machine themselves, but as good as ASML, but enough for the non-high end chips
@@rumchata6569 good luck with that. The Netherlands is in NATO and the EU and, from the Russian perspective, on the other side of Europe.
Yeah I was expecting that, advanced semiconductor manufacturing needs some serious collaboration... though I can see that the discussion may fall down to a rabbit hole if went that way...
Granted NL is allied to US and a founding member of NATO, but ASML, NL and EU also need to seek self-interest to some extent... If TSMC were at Beijing's hands, what if helping China, even a little bit through some shady deals, on advanced lithography systems, turns out to be more profitable and stops China's ASML equivalent from ever catching up (still seems unlikely however)? Perhaps too many "if"s here😂
I think the title should be "Will China" not Taiwan, because Taiwan just wants to be left alone and has a right to exist.
Edit: this was before they changed the title.
Problem is, Taiwan can't be alone... Whether it is with China or with others, Taiwan needs allies in order to survive. On misstep could lead to unfortunate events.
I agree 👍🏼
exactly
I agree to this.
I literally just started watching this video and I already agree with this comment!!!
Just like the story of Attacking Of Titans, mainland fights island, and finally ends with The Rumbling...☹☹
It's no more about "IF", but "WHEN".
I love your videos and they're always well presented! However, there's a massive flaw in presenting capturing Taiwan and their semiconductor fabrication facilities (fabs) as cutting the West off from the semiconductor fabrication technology and not crippling China itself.
Over 98.5% of the chip lithography machines which TSMC uses are designed and produced by companies friendly to the West:
ASML (Dutch) - 28% market share
Nikon (Japanese) - 11% market share
Ushio (Japanese) - 11% market share
SUSS MicroTech (German) - 6% market share
EVG (Austrian) - 5% market share
Only ASML produces Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUV) machines to make 5 nm chipsets and eventually 3 & 2 nm chipsets. ASML produces 50 EUV machines/year and has sold about 125 of these machines. Assuming TSMC had all these machines, it would take ASML about 125 ÷ 50 = 2.25 years to resupply the West with TSMC current capabilities. This ignores that West friendly Samsung (South Korean) also produces 5 nm chipset with ASML machines. Adjusting to account that TSMC and Samsung have 52% and 18% market share resepectively, it would take ASML (52-18)/52 × 2.25 = 1.5 years to resupply the West with TSMC's current capabilities.
On top of this, if China captured Taiwan today without somehow loosing TSMC's fabs and engineers, China would be cut off from all Western friendly fabs and new lithography machines from these Western friendly companies. Thus in this most optimistic scenario for China, China would be capped at TSMC's current production levels while the West surpasses them in 1.5 years. Most likely TSMC would cripple their fabs and evacuate their engineers. Instead, China would be capped at their tiny domestic capability, crippling them severely, while the West makes due with Samsung's capability.
I came over from Nebula to comment something like (a less detailed version of) this. Glad to see someone beat me to it :)
Intel would also undoubtedly greatly accelerate their external fabbing plans if TSMC were to fall.
TSMC without ASML is basically a sinking ship. Literally no one else has the ability to supply the EUV machines needed for current and coming cutting edge technologies. China has already spent billions trying and failing.
Pretty much as said, though of course China would not be able to get various parts to fix any EUV machines that developed a problem either, as complicated machines always do. So at the very best it would be a degrading capability, while the developed democracies would with an interruption of some years start getting back on pushing the technology forward.
Of course now considering what the war in Ukraine has shown, China could probably count on being cut off as much from the worlds markets as the other developed nations could bear, which would probably expose them to many vulnerabilities in specialist parts no one else but one or two particular nations made, various raw goods, etc. Which would likely cripple their economy or its ability in future to develop.
Over all as such an invasion of Taiwan might as such lead to the downfall of China's chances of developing further. Basically a terrible blunder, as the value of Taiwan in prestige and strategic positioning, will never make up for the costs that much of the developed world would inflict upon an expansionistic imperial power.
China would also be cut off from the most important chip designers as well. People seem to forget just how incredibly difficult it is to design or even copy successful chips. The chips made for x86 machines or even the ARM designs require significant amounts of R&D to squeeze out maximum performance. The video also ignores the extreme importance of analog chip manufacturing which is dominated by companies like Texas Instruments and Analog Devices.
Good point!
I remember my friends who develop chips at intel explaining this whole situation years ago and how worrying it was. It’s pretty insane how dependant everyone is on these fabs. Taiwan is the golden goose, they all want it, but if anyone tried to take it the risk is so great if it’s killed it would plunge the world into chaos. Everyone in the industry is desperately building new fabs with lots of government investment now everyone has realised what a precarious position it’s in. All the eggs are in one basket 😬

Small addition: the machines used by TSMC are afaik produced by ASML, a Dutch company. While there are more chip foundries around, there is 0 competition for ASML. Samsung also uses their machines and so does Global Foundries. The intellectual property of those companies running the foundries are based on the architecture and the the processes beyond lithography. But it would all be worthless without ASML lithography machines.

To answer your question, this is based on international law after World War II. Please do not be brainwashed by media that serves a particular party based on ideology.
On December 1st, 1943, the governments of China, the United States and the United Kingdom issued the Cairo Declaration, announcing that their purpose was to return to China all the territories that Japan had stolen from China, such as Manchuria, Taiwan and the Pescadores. On July 26th, 1945, China, the United States and the United Kingdom jointly signed the Potsdam Proclamation, which was later joined by the Soviet Union. The proclamation reaffirmed that "the terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out" and stipulated that "Japanese sovereignty shall be limited to Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku and such other minor islands as we determine."
This issue is very complicated when viewed from different perspectives, it's legally still a civil war, I just wish for peaceful negotiation

The heavy shift into political videos has been amazing from you. One of the best sources of analysis on CZcams at the moment
Military invasion has several drawbacks:
- the last time the PRC went to war was when they fought the Vietnamese in 1979, which is around 43 years ago
- if they invade, several manufacturing facilities and infrastructure can be destroyed, which will make it nothing more than a useless island till it can all be fixed.
- PRC has no experience in amphibious landings (which is something that they will need to do since it's an island)
- invading Taiwan could cause the PRC's neighbors to feel threatened and start to militarize
It's much easier to have their politicians on their payroll and keep Taiwan as a puppet state. The Chinese government is not like the Russian government. They will play the waiting game, bide their time, they know much better ways than warfare to get what they want. Just ask the corrupt politicians we have at Washington D.C. accepting their bribes.
First off, this is based off of rational reasoning, and we all know people act rationally until they don't.
But most importantly, the one thing the CCP is afraid of is the Mandate of Heaven and regime change. Now, China is not in a good position, with demographics alone predicted to half the Chinese population by 2050, and as the CCP fails to provide to the people, the powder keg of revolution grows larger. A good win will surely boost those approval ratings, right?
Trying to predict what will happen in the future is betting against God's hand Himself, but as demographics threatens China's economy and military and the grounds for the Mandate of Heaven begins to set, a Chinese invasion may become possible.
I think you missed the part where the video (and many other sources) state that this has to happen within the decade. They can't bide their time because it's simply not an option.
Also, I get what you're implying about soft power, but believe me when I tell you that that won't work the way it used to anymore. The pandemic was a real turning point in CCP PR, since then nobody trusts them anymore as the veil has largely been torn off.
Also, as I understand it, their military doesn't communicate with each other they way the U.S. Navy, Air Force, and Marines do. That's a big disadvantage.
