Well, we did not exaggerate describing it as the most dangerous company in the world, but the strange thing is that this company is not located in the United States or in China or even in Russia, but rather it is not located in any of the member states of the Group of Twenty.

In fact, TSMC, which monopolizes most of the world's production of high-tech chips, whose chips are likely to be found in many of your electronic devices, including your computer or phone from which you are browsing this report now, is located on a small island 140 kilometers from the shores of China and exceeds its area It is barely 36,000 km, and only 22 out of 196 countries around the world recognize its independence, namely Taiwan.

The Taiwanese company produces two-thirds of what the world consumes annually from electronic chips and more than 90% of the most advanced chips, and its market value exceeds $ 300 billion, which makes it the second largest company in Asia in terms of value after Saudi Aramco, and one of the twenty largest in the world, but regardless About its market value, and given the importance and sensitivity of the product it provides, the company occupies a decisive position in the raging technical and military conflict between China and the United States.

Founded in 1987 at the initiative of the government, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) today manufactures chips for Apple, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and thousands more.

To get to know the extent of the company's control, we may have to point out that thirty years ago, when "TSMC" had just started manufacturing electronic chips, the American company "Intel" manufactured about 65% of the electronic chips in the world, but today, Intel manufactures less than 10%, while the Taiwanese company dominates the chip market.

, we get to know closely the story of the emergence of the Taiwanese semiconductor company and its secrets, and how Taiwan, the small island, turned into a stronghold for one of the most important industries in the world, and how it was able to maintain its position superior to the American technology giants.

We also touch on the company's position in the technical struggle for hegemony between Washington and Beijing, leading to the most difficult question: What if a war breaks out in Taiwan soon?

Will the United States step in to defend it in order to protect its interests in the chip industry?

How can the world be affected by such a scenario?
