The real question is how unprofitable will it be to remain dependent on Taiwan in the face of the inevitable conflict coming with China. US and Europe based fabs could literally lose money and require subsidies and still net out as less expensive.

Competition is inevitable, conflict, no at least I hope not. Of course, we (the US) can’t make them decide not to attack Taiwan, but our countries have managed the tricky situation so far.

I wouldn't talk of a conflict with China as inevitable. Competition is fine but no one in their right mind should wish for military conflict with China, it would be a tragedy for humanity.

  wish for and expect are two different things. I wish the war in Ukraine would end tomorrow, I don't expect it will though. while China invading Taiwan is not a guarantee, it is certainly highly probable. this risk should be taken into account by the us government

    Why do you think it’s highly probable?

      Do you not keep track of current events? Chinas activities in the South China Sea, the fact they openly say they will integrate Taiwan, by force if necessary and unemployment being 20-30% for young people are just a few red flags.
