TSMC looks to double down on U.S. chip factories as talks in Europe falter

I've been thinking about what would happen if there's an actual military crisis between China and Taiwan. I wonder if the United States would allow (and aid with) unlimited immigration from Taiwan for educated specialists, in an attempt to capture/retain as much skills and knowledge as possible.

The US should invite Taiwan to become the 50-nth state. Perhaps several states, to give them more Senate votes.

Numerous polls of the Taiwanese show that they would want to join the US if given the choice between independent statehood, joining the mainland, and joining the US.

Plus, the US gets a nice permanent military base and gets to monitor all future Chinese submarine activity.

If China attacks a US state, it would be like Yamamoto's "sleeping giant" moment. The US is trying to force China's hand while there is power asymmetry, and I can't think of a better checkmate move.

We can't even get DC statehood which is very popular, DC residents want it hugely. Republicans block it. I would go for PR too, maybe a tradeoff since it's not reliably blue like you might imagine - or at least the 'blue' most people think of Dem.
