I don't know all the factors involved, but I know as an engineer if I have a choice of 2 or more places to work, I'm strongly incented to go live in a place that is NOT under invasion/blockade threat by China. Plus Taiwan is an island. It would be much harder to get in or out, in wartime, than say Ukraine. Harder to reinforce and resupply. Granted, maybe you'd have enough time to escape, but maybe you wouldn't, and either way I wouldnt want to grow a family there or friendships if that dark cloud loomed overhead, threatening the loss of all. Plenty of other places to live and work instead. Now... if they offered 5X more pay than anywhere else, then sure, maybe. ;-)
