Two of the most critical companies in the world: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) and ASML Holding N.V. (ASML)

Editor's note: Taiwan's TSMC is planning on opening its first European microprocessor manufacturing plant in Germany at an initial investment cost of $11 billion. It takes anywhere from 3 to 5 years to build a fabrication plant. Plans are also underway to build plants in Japan (still under consideration for a second plant) and in the state of Arizona for $15 billion. This is likely to begin gradually moving this technology out of Taiwan and further away from China. TSMC uses the machines ASML manufacturers (located in Veldhoven, Netherlands) to fabricate microprocessors. Intel, TSMC and Samsung all depend on ASML machines. ASML is the only company in the world that can provide this kind of technology. It is the German company Ziess Group (located in Oberkochen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany) that manufactures the optics that direct the light for the critically important EUV lasers (extreme ultra violet) manufactured by TRUMPF (located in Ditzingen, Germany) used in ASML machines to print the chips. These are the most sophisticated machines built in the world and the high end on one of these machines runs around $300 million. Ziess sits on the cutting edge of laser technology used in making chips. Over the long term it means there will be a significant reduction in costs bringing TSMC, Ziess, TRUMPF and ASML all together in Germany. Another factor to take into consideration here is that Russia plans on manufacturing a lithography machine more advanced than ASML's machine explaining in part US sanctions on Russia.

The US is going to turn Taiwan into another Ukraine over TSMC

Editor's note: Who is in charge of US foreign policy? This story was sourced from: US politician suggests blowing up Taiwan's semi-conductor manufacturer 'if China invades'. Why even suggest in public such preposterous and stupid ideas regarding Taiwan's microprocessor giant TSMC? China has already recruited over 3,000 electrical engineers from Taiwan. Why is this so important an issue? Because Taiwan's TSMC is the "tool shed" for the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). See TSMC Archives.

Americans decide the fate of Taiwan

U.S. House Representative Seth Moulton stated:
🔹We must make it clear to the Chinese that if they invade Taiwan, we will blow up the chip manufacturer TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductors).

Funding the Demolition of America - The CCP Steps In To Take Control of the Multi Polar World

Editor's note: The Jewish oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi who is allegedly in Israel is part of the FTX (invested in mRNA injection research) financial crypto shake down and money laundering through Ukraine? Surprise, surprise. How are we supposed to analyze this properly when so many involved are Jewish without being painted with the "antisemitic" (deflecting attention away from Jews) paint brush? One observation that requires far deeper analysis is what is the extent of Israel-China cooperation that is going on here to bring down the US? Are analysts and journalists even looking at this from that angle? Fund the "demolition of America" for who? For China? If one looks deeply enough it can be said the Democratic Party is the CCP (see Biden Travels East in Clouds of Mistrust), so we want to know exactly what does the CCP have on the Democratic Party? After a casual look, there are more than 600 groups in the US linked to the CCP. Working together on their "multi polar" world?

Can't Say We Haven't Heard About ASML Around Here

Editor's note: We covered the Dutch firm ASML previously but here is a recent article on just how important ASML is to the microprocessor industry. Those who have read this blog over the years know we covered ASML extensively. Story from: Trung Phan.

ASML is the most important company you've never heard of.

The $220B Dutch firm makes the machines that make semiconductors. Each one costs $150m and access to them are a huge geopolitical flashpoint.

China Perfecting Its Social Media Disinformation Operations to Influence Americans: Analyst

Editor's note: As a casual observation there is something profoundly disturbing with an ancient Confucius civilization with the CCP behind it building out this technological digital surveillance grid being grafted onto America. If you think the concept of a "hive mentality" is hyperbole, wait until the CCP builds this technology out in China. The technology is beyond the Chinese who haven't thought of the far reaching deleterious consequences in their relentless drive to mechanize humanity with their insect-like collectivist hive mind metaphysics. This combined with China's pre-embryonic gene selection (15 points in IQ in a generation) for intelligence. Try competing against that in a generation or two? Unless this is nipped in the bud and soon we are in trouble. Don't blame the Chinese specifically. Blame western politicians and globalist corporations and their CEOs for allowing this to happen. The globalists created a technological Frankenstein and they will not be able to put that monster back in chains. We are in very dangerous and precarious circumstances. What will it take to reverse this? A shared Russian-American "Promethean future?" Read more...

Taiwan Is Playing a Dangerous Political Game - TSMC in Taiwan Uses ASML Machines - The WEF-Directed 4IR Depends on the "Tool Shed" TSMC - US Tech War With China Benefits Taiwan and Israel - 3,000 Taiwan Engineers to China - ASML With Record Profits

Editor's note: Can't say we did not notice this either concerning American manufacturing. Taiwan's TSMC is the "tool shed" for the coming WEF-forced "Fourth Industrial Revolution" and without the microprocessors there will be no "revolution." It is starting to look like Taiwan is playing China off against America and it is all based on TSMC chip manufacturing capability. Needless to say, China wants TSMC's technology and manufacturing capability sitting 100 miles off China's coast. Now do people understand why the US Navy as well as Japan's JSDF are positioning military assets all over the South China Sea.

The Smaller the Lines, the Bigger the Laser - The Machines That Build the Machines - Powering Up the Fourth Industrial Revolution - ASML's Relation With China - Lithography (EUV) Powered by Zeiss: Most Expensive Machines in the World - Covid-Induced World Trade Crumbles Except Technology

Editor's note: When President Trump occupied the White House (he was allegedly being betrayed by Tel Aviv), there was political pressure exerted on the Netherlands-based ASML to prevent China from accessing ASML's advanced technology. ASML manufactures the machines that manufacture microprocessors. Whatever country ends up with the machines that make the machines and related technology, will own the future of technology related to microprocessors. They will power up A.I. Israel wants to own that future and so does China - badly. Both are greedy, xenophobic cultures – notoriously so, in fact. They're resented for such. What the CEO of ASML likely knows but doesn't admit, is that Israel and China technology, trade and investment are becoming closer. Now that Trump has been replaced with Banana Republic Biden, will we see political circumstances between Israel and China continue?

Trump administration pressed Dutch hard to cancel China chip-equipment sale: sources

While the world has gone into convulsions over the WEF and Davos-induced "Great Reset" destroying economies in countries all over the world under cover of the global fake Covid pandemic, the tech industry related to microprocessor engineering and manufacturing is going strong. At the core of ASML lithography machines are the extreme ultra-violet (EUV) lasers that etch out the wafers. ASML has a monopoly on the industry with Taiwan's TSMC, Samsung, Apple and Intel all relying on ASML's lithography machines.  At the core of ASML's lithography machines are the lasers engineered and manufactured by the German firm Zeiss (Carl Zeiss SMT GmbH). Without Zeiss' EUV lasers nothing works. The "Fourth Industrial Revolution" will turn into the "Great Reopening."
