Taiwan Should Destroy Tsmc If China Invades Us Army Paper Says

The main recommendation that makes the paper interesting is for the US and Taiwan to threaten to destroy facilities of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) in the event of a Chinese invasion. TSMC is the dominating player in the semiconductor manufacturing industry, holding 54% of the global market share. Meanwhile, only six percent of chips used in China are locally produced.
