TSMC is Taiwan's nuclear deterrent. Asking them to move half their production to the USA is an obvious no.

Ukraine has spent the past 3 years demonstrating what can happen if you give up your nuclear deterrent for a paper guarantee when you have a hungry neighbor who thinks your land is theirs.

    Yes, I can see how total annihilation and/or subservience to China is equal to expanding domestic manufacturing.

    The point is that American oligarchs class won’t allow the US government to let Taiwan fall.

    Taiwan knows this, so it’s foolish to migrate manufacturing to US as they enjoy not being Chinese.
