TSMC: Ruling the World with an Island's Chips

The fate of the world’s technology giants lies in TSMC’s ultra-advanced microchips in Taiwan. Our global digital life depends almost entirely on the factories of a single island. Any possible disruption could trigger a crisis capable of stopping everything, from phones to cars, from the internet to defense. We are on the brink of a new cold war in the chip wars, and will two parallel digital universes emerge? Will the pulse of the future really beat in just a few clean rooms? Risks and opportunities have never been so intertwined.
