Japan has a huge number of fabs. It's a problem that can be managed, short of a truly catastrophic seismic event hitting Japan. It's definitely not fishy at all

The next best criteria is a place that's a short plane ride from HQ and politically friendly with people who won't take kindly to the country you're in being bombed by the country next to your HQ.
