If the US had bought 10% of TSMC, with no voting rights - just increased dependency - it would have sent a very strong signal.

Its an interesting idea, not a serious suggestion.

The US has been slowly but steadily sending the opposite signal over the past year: “just wait a little and you can have Taiwan”

If the US can replace the need for Taiwan... Yeah. They no longer matter to us if we can replace the manufacturing capacity.
