    I thought this was a surprisingly detailed article about the potential economic impacts of different "conflict in Taiwan" scenarios: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-02-10/the-10-tr... (https://archive.is/wYbVh).

    Chinese won't get JACK. All the foundries are completely lock 'N load to detonate upon any invasion that appears to overwhelm the defenders.

        Presumably he meant to respond to the comment by "Fricken" that suggested there wasn't a problem because the companies would just keep selling chips under new Chinese ownership.

    Knowing current climate in SV this article seems out of touch. Tech industry is keenly aware of this and trying to do everything to avoid it.

    Does NYT think China is going to blow up all the chip foundries? China likes money, you'll still be able to buy chips made in Taiwan.
