Taiwan has all the best semiconductor stuff no way that America would give it up. This is just lip service. America has aircraft carriers near Taiwan at all times.
Don't take America seriously when it comes to speech. Look at their actions and forget the words.
Ah you're right, Taiwan wouldn't be independent, because in the case of a Chinese attempt at occupation, the U.S. would swoop in and ~~occupy it themselves~~ "liberate" them.
Doubt it, the companies would just blow the chip plants. There are already chip fabrication plants being built all around the world because of the situation, but there's basically no way TSMC is letting the CCP seize their fabs. They already have plans in place to destroy everything needed for fabrication, which is probably part of the reason China hasn't invaded.
