It highlights how former President Donald Trump's administration emphasized the need to keep Taiwan out of China's control due to its critical role in the global supply chain for semiconductors, often referred to as "defense chips." Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is noted as the world's leading producer of advanced semiconductors, which are vital for both civilian and military applications.
