Did you ever notice AMD changed to China?

[Philco7a]

I just noticed AMD Ryzen chips say made in China instead of made in Taiwan.
Apparently was done 1 year ago. Taiwan was forced to say they are China.

Do we boycott AMD now?

I don't support the existence of nations, so I don't really care how they identify.

Boycott China not AMD or Taiwan. Unless you have some other reason to boycott AMD.

[Affronter]

Way back when, when things weren’t made in Japan, Taiwan was the next best option. Not sure now since there’s some pretty good stuff coming out of our future overlords.

They could be acknowleging nationalist china as legit china and the rebellious western provinces as illegitamate, or not they could be scared of red china politics so capitulated

As long as it works, I don't really care where it's made.

Pls, point me which TSMC fab can produce 5N transistors and it is in China.
I know the answer.

It's probably made in China instead of West-Taiwan.

That sounds like something every person I've known from Taiwan has said. One time a girl told me she was Taiwanese I responded with "so you're from the real China..." And she actually thanked me for saying that.

Taiwan is china

[Tonepoet]

Taiwan's government calls itself the Republic of China and takes the stance that it is the true Chinese government so it makes sense that it'd say Made in China even if it was made in Taiwan because as far as both China and Taiwan are concerned, a nation called Taiwan does not exist, so if either of those nations were to mandate a label of national origin, it would say China. Taiwan is a name invented by westerners to distinguish between the de-facto difference in sovereign powers in the mainland and the island.

Moreover, the U.S.A. doesn't recognize Taiwan as a sovereign nation anyway.

Also, it's kind of messed up given that U.S./Taiwanese relations are better than U.S./Chinese relations, but Trump would have rather had you buying from China (20% liberation day tariff) than Taiwan (32% liberation day tariff). Granted, Chinese tariffs are generally speaking much higher now, except on the few products he reduced back down to 20% recently, but that's only because China defied him.

So it's not as if being made in china is much of negative if we're judging by what Trump thinks a fair tariff rate would be, so it's kind of like whatever. If you were buying Taiwanese product before, it's not like there's much of a reason not to buy Taiwanese product now, aside from price shifts.
