Massive news. One cannot shake the idea that Taiwan is playing all the cards it can to protect it from invasion. This is one; ingratiating itself within the core of American production.

Why would this help Taiwan stave off China's advance? Arguably, this makes it more likely.

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.

		It makes it more likely that the US responds in kind to an invasion.
