That’s cheating! Any way China does it faster and better has to because China is cheating.
Just imagine the kinds of restrictions the West would put on China if they had it their way. How does China having cheaper energy enough for AI to wreck anything. It only wrecks the West’s plan to force their AI onto the world and make all the money for themselves. They don’t have to use it. They can outlaw it from anyone in their countries to use it. It only proves how the West wants to hold everyone back just because their countries can’t provide what their AI needs. China ain’t forcing anyone to use theirs. If anyone uses it, it’s because they want to use it of their own free will because it’s the better choice and they know it.
It use to be when something new comes out it was more expensive to get but as it was produced more and more, it got cheaper. Not these days. That’s a bygone era. Today everything gets more expensive because that’s how you make more money and that’s everything these days. Stock values can go down even though a company is still making a profit. It only goes up when a company is making more or projected to make more money than before. That’s why everything continues to costs more in the West. They have to make more money than before and the only way to accomplish that for sure is to keep charging more.
That’s why you see the West knocking China’s controlled economy even though it’s working out for them. That’s why the basics like food and energy are constantly affordable because there’s not multiple private interests each looking to make more of a profit for themselves every step of the way. Why was Tesla and BYD successful? Because everything they did was in-house. They didn’t have other partners each looking to make more money for themselves in order to produce something which only added more to the costs.
Remember how the West tried to discourage China from going it alone on making semiconductors? They argued it was so complicated that one single country couldn’t do it alone. No, that was their way of first eliminating the competition from their industry and if that didn’t work, it was to make sure their companies got in on the action to make money from China so they could do the same thing like how it’s done in the West and thus making everything more expensive in the end. And of course now the US is all about going it alone for national security because they don’t want their supply chains hampered by outsiders. I thought they said no one can do it alone…
If it comes to that, I think China should notify the IAEA and the UN. Make enough noises to justify what comes next. Then escalate to very harsh sanctions, trade restrictions, economic punishment, and serious diplomatic protests, including recalling the ambassador. Make the world understand that serious shit is coming if Japan is allowed to build nukes. Whoever wants to side with Japan will suffer along with it.
If all peaceful options have been exhausted, then it's war. China would have to launch preemptive strikes on Japan's nuclear weapons sites. It'll be WW3 for sure, but if things have reached to that point, then the world deserves a WW3. Japan must never be trusted to possess nukes.

If ever, will this be completed?

TSMC is between a rock and hard place because if they don't give Trump the latest node he will bring the tariff hammer to the company and TSMC lost most of Mainland China companies costumer's in advanced nodes due export controls to compensate. Intel is already on the brink of making 1.4nm node and is basically partially owned by the US government, so putting hefty tariffs on the company to prop up Intel is very possible. And could get worse if Trump cut their paltry support to the already battered Mr. Lai.
Taiwan and TSMC played a very strong hand terribly the past 5 years. Now they are at risk of losing everything as US and Japan steal their secrets while forcing TSMC to localize production, while at the same time losing the trust of the entire China mainland market.
They could have been king makers and extracted a lot of concessions if they were willing to "wall ride" between US and China.
The DPP put TSMC in a very bad position by forcing the company to build outside Taipei without very hard limits like they do in the Mainland China either by playing "invasion card" too much or by being lapdogs of US officials who only have the interests of the US in mind.
