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.

That would have cost more than $100billion, not the $10billion for the same sized stake in intel.

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.
