If it takes a decade the time to start is now.

I bet if you try the US and EU quietly tell you to stop, because Taiwan without a TSMC monopoly would be very scared.

And why do the US and European governments care more about how scared Taiwan is than the security of their access to high-end semiconductors?

Cynically I'd say it's because high-end semiconductors aren't as important to national security as people think they are.
