“Target” how? Blowing up TSMC isn’t what they want. China would need to establish air superiority first for any land invasion to succeed, which means Taiwan has plenty of time to pull the trigger on the kill switches.
If I was Winnie the Pooh, I’d pay Owl to go under deep cover for years to get control over the switches, or Kanga to make sure the Switch Master is indisposed when a military assault begins, or Eeyore to physically disable the switches before the attack. Winnie the Pooh has lots of options.
They’d be the first target if/when open hostilities break out. c/ncd loves to shit on the PLA, but I bet this is something they’d try to get right.
a button (or cron job) work at the speed of light.
good luck sneaking your invasion fleet across without anyone noticing.
TSMC and Taiwan have been expecting this.
