It's just self-preservation instinct: if they move they bleeding edge manufacturing to the US then the US no longer has a reason to defend Taiwan against Chinese invasion. Which sucks for all the TSMC C-level executives and their families.
- linotype 2y agoI have to imagine the C-level employees at TSMC have an exit strategy involving private planes if that were to come to pass. At least I hope they do.

- duxup 2y agoI get the feeling that might not even be needed. There's a pattern of those in power thinking they'll be kept in power even in trying times, patterns where they're wrong, but also where they are right. China is hardly a fully closed society.
- canjobear 2y agoThe Taiwan Strait is still pretty important.

- Jach 2y agoTSMC was founded in 1987, I think there might just be other reasons the US may defend Taiwan which would justify the existence of the older original mutual defense treaty from 1955-1980 or the currently standing Taiwan relations act that replaced it in 1980.
