If something happens to the US, we won't regret being able to produce these chips domestically.

For the rest of the world, Taiwan with a "China Risk" looks like a safer bet than the USA.

Until the rest of the world actually stops using the US Dollar as their reserve currency instead of endlessly talking about it but never actually do more than some token local trades, I don't believe the rest of the world prefers Mainland China invading Taiwan over dealing with the US. People (and countries) love to bluster but their actions are far more indicative of their outlook than posturing is.

The way to reduce the risk is to diversify. Taiwan with a China risk and the US with a "US risk" is much safer than either alone.

In a world of US and China being at odds with each other and controlling a GPU factory each, AI for Europe, Japan, Australia, etc becomes a game of who can kiss ass better and hoping the master doesn't change the rules further.

There should be more places that can produce enough energy and have AI leverage.

		There should. I wish the Netherlands the best in further building out the industry in the EU!

Not really. Taiwan with a China risk means China has pressure to not change the status quo.

US with a US risk means they have a vested interest to facilitate China's imperialistic agenda to try dethrone Taiwan as a competitor in the chip market.

That, coupled with the imbecile tariff war, underlines the unacceptable risk presented by the "US risk".
