My understanding is that 1 company in Taiwan makes the greatest chips in the world and no one else can replicate them. How is that possible?
In: Engineering
Most nations know the broad strokes of how to make a nuclear weapon but the how is so nuanced that it’s almost impossible to reverse engineer without incredible financial resources.
Same with chips. They have insane in-house knowledge curated over decades that is so sensitive, should China attack Taiwan, they would more likely destroy their processes rather than let them fall into CCP possession. We can see the final result, but trying to reverse engineer it without access to the process is challenging
The US is now committing huge financial resources to try to catch up with state-side competition.
