Um... duh? Welcome to the conversation?
TSMC is the reason China keeps doing this shit:
It's pretty obvious they're planning an invasion. You don't fly 800+ missions into another nation's airspace in just one year because you think it's fun.
Couldn't Taiwan find a country willing to "harbor" the entire population and move with all their hardware, leaving the country empty for the Chinese to do what they like? Might be easier than trying to get China to be reasonable...
What will Taiwan be worth to China if all profitable businesses move?
It'll never happen, so just hypothetically speaking...
Anti Commercial AI thingy
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0Getting a fab up and running is an incredibly time and capital intensive ordeal. And the hardware they use, known as 'tools', are not designed to sit in some dusty warehouse in the meantime. Even if it was feasible to move them all out at once. Like this is sensitive equipment and there's tons of it. There's no way they're moving entire fabs out. The money lost in downtime alone would be astronomical.
The money lost by losing the fabs by blowing them up during an invasion would also be astronomical. Surely a controlled move would be less expensive.
