With TSMC building new foundries outside of Taiwan, the centre of importance will be shifted in 3 years time.
Its the time needed for the Chinese to come up with an alternate global payment system that's not US or EU controlled.
Also by then the Road n Belt massive project would have a life of its own.
Should China launches a attack then, the US would not interfere.
