Stupid question: why is there such a drive to build critical industrial capacity close to potential warzones (to encourage peace efforts that prevent supply disruption, I guess)? e.g. Taiwan, Israel. Is there any basis for a pattern, or am I just seeing what I want to see?
Both Taiwan and Israel have excellent seismic stability, which affects the highly sensitive equipment. At least that was the answer I remember from an LTT video (I think) that I watched.

Probably reasons related.
