I'm not sure which country you're from but without Taiwan there is no Nvidia, Apple, or personal computers. Taiwan MUST be protected.

Correction without Taiwan there is no Nvidia, Apple, or personal computers using the leading edge nodes <=7nm. There would be shortages but there is still Samsung and Intel is catching up.

That’s just TSMC. Taiwan has the leading contract manufacturers Foxconn and Quanta, MediaTek, etc.

Not to mention they invented bubble tea.

If we weren't so antagonistic towards China, business with Taiwan would carry on as usual following a Chinese takeover.

A Chinese takeover destroys TSMC, assuming it's not done through diplomacy. Industry does not survive war. That's one of the things that gets destroyed. And it most likely will not be done by diplomacy after Taiwan watched what happened to Hong Kong.

There are more important things in my life than cutting edge personal electronic devices.
