Taiwan's 'silicon shield' keeps it safe as AI demand grows

Original: How Taiwan’s ‘silicon shield’ has kept it safe from China, indispensable to US in age of AI

Taiwan's dominance in semiconductor manufacturing, led by TSMC, is being described as a 'silicon shield' that deters Chinese aggression and makes the island indispensable to the United States, especially as artificial intelligence drives global demand for advanced chips. Commentators argue this economic and technological leverage has kept Taiwan secure despite rising cross-strait tensions.

Why now: Ongoing US-China tensions and the AI boom have renewed debate over Taiwan's strategic importance in global chip supply.
