this is forgetting that the US exists. The US doesn't want China to invade Taiwan or to control TSMC. if China invades, is very much in the US interest to fly everyone important at TSMC and their families to the US, and to blow up the buildings. it's also in the TSMC employees interest because living in a warzone sucks. Furthermore, this policy is a dissinsentive for China to invade since it means that invading won't provide an economic benefit.

- nosianu 2y ago> this is forgetting that the US exists. I did not forget this. I think you overestimate what the US can and is willing to do there, and also what the incentives would be for people to escape to the US. This is not Vietnam in the 1970s, staying right there may very well be the preferred choice, even if China takes over. Especially if they make a very nice offer in advance. Should Trump win that may look even worse.
- EmptyCoffeeCup 2y agoYou're thinking too literally. The USA do not need any co-operation with from the operators of TMSC to deny China the asset. They have enough bombs. The Americans will want the experience of the operators. If those operators refuse to go to America, they'll be unalived with the plant itself.
