Given TSMC was born in well Taiwan and is arguably one of the most important companies in history I'd say the 'Great leap' forward may indeed have had adverse affects in the Mainland Chinese population, also the whole mass killing of intellectuals too probably resulted in some brain drain. AMD Intel and Nvidia are all reliant on them more so than they are on say Malaysia or Israel. You don't start a company like that with a dumb starving poverty ridden population. Hence why India's past attempts to create their own version of Silicon Valley failed, that and sanctions probably hurt them too since they wanted to be neutral but went about it in a retarded way. Same reason Bangladesh is also a third world dump too or more so than it should be anyway, Pakistan targeted their intellectuals first when they initially just wanted more autonomy and protested for it.... Huh no wonder Pakistan and the CCP are such good friends...
