Politicians have been shown to be spineless, they don’t do enough for Ukraine, the chip manufacturing is Taiwan’s nuclear weapons. It’s what keeps the world caring about them.
It’s not about moving all chip manufacturing to Europe, just defense kind. Even for the sake of allies it would simply be a wise move to do so, as defending Taiwan would be easier if critical military tech wasn’t blockaded should a war break out.
TSMC is still the best for producing the most advanced chips, but most military tech doesn’t need that level. Consumer tech would still make sense to produce there.
PS: just occurred to me you’re also literally on a community called “buyeuropean”

Being selfish is not a value I support.
