The taiwanese would destroy the factories rather than let it fall into Chinese hands. That is unless they are filled with folks like Taiwan semi who believe that the Commie leadership is good and that democracy is 'messy'

I can assure you that one reason Taiwanese businesses have invested so heavily in China is because Taiwan's parliamentary political system is not only messy but often an arena for so-called "ultimate fighting" by Taiwanese politicians. Taiwanese politicians really are too busy punching and pulling each other's hair on the parliamentary floor to take care of the economy's increasingly dire ecoomic situation anymore.
