Most people that don't have the golden goose, don't care about killing it.

If your enemy has a golden goose and you don't, there isn't much stopping you from killing it.

About 70% of the chips that China’s extremely lucrative electronics industry uses come from TSMC though. They might not have the golden goose that is TSMC, but one of their own golden geese relies on it to keep running.

Yeah, except for recent legal changes are making that number go down.

Yes, but if you know that you can probably steal the enemy's golden goose if you tried hard enough, I would think you wouldn't kill it outright.

CCP is better off keeping the world's best chip fab in a region they claim to be their territory.
