This is a direct consequence of the Ukraine-Putin's regime war: unless there is a nuclear-umbrella agreement between the US and Taiwan, Taiwan is as good as gone: ppl who would not accept the level of freedom and basic rights tolerated by China CP have to leave (we are talking about millions of ppl I guess). As for TMSC, they have to move away asap (because rebuilding top-notch chip-tech R&D and foundries elsewhere is no little piece of work).
There is also the case of South Korea, and to a lesser extend Japan, because if no nuclear-umbrella agreement is setup for those countries, they hold so much high tech and so many competent ppl... well, if China is not able to manufacture top-notch chips, that's not going to help those countries.
The core of the pb is the following: Now more than ever, all countries without a nuclear-umbrella in the world could be the target of "some" nuclear regimes for "any" reasons.
It started 20 years ago with the iraky war and those "chemical weapons" (the intend was to avoid a 2nd Koweit or other invasion I guess). Now, it seems this is escalating and accelerating.
