TSMC manufactures roughly 90% of the world's most advanced chips, and almost all of it happens on a island 180km from mainland China. That concentration isn't a secret; it's a risk that governments, militaries, and supply chain managers are actively trying to solve. This watchlist tracks some of the foundries and chip manufacturers outside Taiwan that stand to absorb demand if that risk ever becomes reality, from US-backed pure-play foundries like GlobalFoundries and Intel, to Korean giants like Samsung and SK Hynix, to European specialists in automotive and power semiconductors.
