The Nikkei has a detailed article [0] on the steps that China is taking to compete with TSMC and other western chip factories. I think a lot of commenters would be meaningful if they took time to read the other side of the problem and not just run into nationalist and inflammatory war.

>compete with TSMC and other western chip factories

Is TSMC is a western company?

When talking about "spheres of influence" China (and Russia) are seen as not-Western while Japan/SK/Taiwan are seen as Western, due to the American military umbrella.

Does this mean Taiwan is part of the US? China doesn’t seem to agree with this.
