Man, man.

Um, the TSMC.

Yeah.

So they're, um, I think they're technically not supposed to, but a lot of the, the, um, Huawei, one of the leading companies in China has been able to get, um,

tons of chips from, tons of dies it's called, but basically tons of chips or chip prerequisites from Taiwan.

And they usually do it through like, they like start some cutout company that doesn't seem associated with them in like Singapore.

And then that Singaporean company buys a bunch of chips

or the Singaporean Malaysian companies buy a bunch of chips from TSMC and then they mail it back or something.

But there's clearly been a lot of TSMC high-end outputs that have gone to the Chinese companies.

Wow.

Wow.

Scary shit, man.

It gets... I mean, I think this is where...

you have to believe like right now if you look at the you know just as we were right now like if you look at the situation and all of the um all the dynamics at play right now it's it's like it's a powder keg it's like very very very volatile um highly problematic in many ways and this is where i mean you just ultimately have to believe that

There's got to be some effort towards diplomatic solutions.

Yeah.

Because it is definitely true, like, war will be really bad for both sides.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, so... What does that look like?
