NO! A thousand times NO!

None of this is keeping good faith with an ally.

"U.S. Calls for Bombing Taiwan’s Semiconductor Industry… Nord Stream Sabotage Redux"

From https://strategic-culture.org/news | article by Finian Cunningham |  May 15, 2023.

"Taiwan is facing the curse of being an ally of Uncle Sam in the same way that Germany and the rest of Europe have."

"Taiwan has been obliged to give its American ally an extraordinary warning: don’t even think about blowing up our semiconductor industry."

"The warning follows growing calls by U.S. politicians and military analysts that Washington should destroy the island’s vital technology sector in order to purportedly prevent China from gaining control of lucrative exports and as a way of damaging China’s economy."

Recall that 80 % of micro-electronic semi-conductors absolutely essential to the modern world technology fabricated and originate in Taiwan. 

Capture of Taiwanese manufacturing facilities intact by Chinese coup de main would mean the entire world to include the USA would be at the absolute sufferance of the Chinese communist rulers.

Destruction of Taiwanese micro-electronic production facilities by pre-wired and planned destruction devices a possible but ONLY decided upon by the Taiwanese themselves and NO ONE else!
