Which in turn, I figure, makes keeping TSMC one of the best in the world an absolute top priority of the ROC.

That’s an interesting point.
I’m sure it’s not lost on folks in the region the importance of TSMC when Xi is telling troops to “prepare for war”
Hopefully their plan to deal with the 30million extra men isn’t war ( https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2017-02/13/content_28183... )
TSMC is majority-based in a country whose land and government is claimed by another, nearby, much larger country. A country willing to leverage international economic options to further that claim.
TSMC's global importance has direct implications on the world's appetite for intervening or preemptively selling arms against a hypothetical Taiwan Strait invasion.
