Yes. It makes perfect sense for Taiwan to keep TSMC on the island as a means of protection.

I reacted to this article because the writer fails to mention that "civilization states" like China and Russia didn't stop their "globalization" efforts of spreading their "civilizational values".

I think the whole argument that the Western (liberal) globalization process is dead is bogus, as the speed at which the majority of world countries came together after Russia's invasion of Ukraine can testify. Globalization is just becoming less one-sided and more **diverse**, like a good neighborhood where people are primarily focused on their own "houses" but can quickly band together when needed to fix a common (global) problem.

I think there are actually two globalization processes in place, one led by China and the other by the US and other Western liberal democracies. Judging by the global movement of people you can immediately tell which one is more attractive. You don't see lines of westerners trying to emigrate to countries like China or Russia, do you?
