The US will never come to the defense of Taiwan. The US and China will never go to war with each other. Nuclear powers do not fight each other directly, they do it through proxies, like we are doing with Ukraine vs. Russia. The U.S. might send money and materiel, they might get the U.N. to issue statements, but an actual shooting war between China and America? Forget it. It will never happen, because if it did happen, life would not be worth living anywhere on earth for the next 50,000 years. And even sanctions are highly doubtful. Personally, I really like being able to design a circuit board and get it fabricated and shipped to my front door from China for $25. And massively interrupting the trade flow between China and the U.S. would lead to a world-wide depression which would make 2008 and the great depression look like boom times. Surely Taiwan knows this, and I suspect that is why TSMC wants to build fabs outside of Taiwan.
