Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is wholly dependent on the west. China taking over Taiwan, if it can do it without turning the island into a crater, wouldn’t be able to do much with these factories over a significant amount of time, so that isn’t the USA’s real concern. Economically speaking, the people (skills, experience) are much more important.


I wonder if we could bring the people and their families over?


We already do, but sure? China is also enticing taiwanese engineers to work in mainland (they pay better).
