TSMS is not the reason China wants Taiwan, and there is more to Taiwan than TSMC: a wonderful people, a thriving liberal democracy, and great local culture, for example. I understand why there is so much focus on HN on TSMC, but it's disheartening to observe the lack of realization that we are not just talking about a fab on a rock, but about human beings.
People, in general (not just HN geeks), tend to have difficulty looking at other folks as “human.” This applies to our next-door neighbors; let alone, people in a distant nation.
