While many believe that Taiwan's staggering focus on chipmaking will spare it from the worst of an invasion, others believe the so-called "silicon shield" is largely illusory. Just who is right remains to be seen, but there's little doubt that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would at least destabilize the chip market, if not ruin it outright. At any rate, analysts are quite on board with Taiwan Semiconductor. With four Buy ratings and one Hold, Taiwan Semiconductor stock is considered a Strong Buy.
