It's a private company that manufactures these things, not governments.
There is one other major semiconductor manufacturer in South Korea, and further investment is being made to start new modern operations in other countries, but these are multi hundred billion dollar operations on the cutting edge. It's not an easy task to just relocate them.
RCA sold and shared technology back in the 70s to Taiwan. The Americans are just not that smart with this.
And you are right , its not a easy task to relocate. And if you do and try to relocate you will take away Taiwanese jobs. And please take note, for all the pomp that Sauci posted this thread. I think Frenchie forget the fact that , there are large number of Taiwanese that want to reunite with China. A larger number wants to maintain Status Quo and a not significantly large group of people who wants independence.
The current government is "Pro US" but that doesn't mean they will not be voted out. So the key is, will China invade Taiwan. No they won't. So when will China invade Taiwan? Well if we look at how the US is playing with Ukraine then perhaps if certain conditions are met, China
might invade Taiwan.
And when that happens will the Taiwanese surrender without a fight ? Well with weapons they might fight a bit , but they won't last long.
Please take note that there is a large number of Anti American Sentiments in Taiwan. You are not only fighting an invader, your own people will fight your pro American government as well.
