Yes that's my take as well. It might be TSMC trying to survive, and America trying to deprive themselves of a future war to defend TSMC or China's inevitable taking of TSMC.
I don't see how it helps Taiwan that much, but perhaps it makes it less attractive to China to take if TSMC can move.

> perhaps it makes it less attractive to China
Taiwan's semiconductor industry is literally not even a factor that plays into China's wish to reunify. It won't make a lick of difference.
It makes it more likely that the US responds in kind to an invasion.
Why? US would have the ability to make advanced chips inside the US. Why would the US be more likely to respond?
