Massive news. One cannot shake the idea that Taiwan is playing all the cards it can to protect it from invasion. This is one; ingratiating itself within the core of American production.
- aurareturn 2y agoWhy would this help Taiwan stave off China's advance? Arguably, this makes it more likely.
- robertlagrant 2y agoYes that's my take as well. It might be TSMC trying to survive, and America trying to deprive themselves of a future war to defend TSMC or China's inevitable taking of TSMC. I don't see how it helps Taiwan that much, but perhaps it makes it less attractive to China to take if TSMC can move.

- aurareturn 2y agoWhy? US would have the ability to make advanced chips inside the US. Why would the US be more likely to respond?
- _t9ow 2y ago> perhaps it makes it less attractive to China Taiwan's semiconductor industry is literally not even a factor that plays into China's wish to reunify. It won't make a lick of difference.
