The world’s largest semiconductor foundry, and one of the primary reasons the U.S. maintains a hold on Taiwan. There are rumours that the US has a plan to blow it up in case of Chinese invasion, that’s how valuable it is. So this quite a reversal of strategy.
As I understand it, TSMC and Taiwan themselves have a plan to blow up the foundries should a China invasion look like it’s going to succeed. They are already rigged with the explosives from what I understand.
