Re: Sure....
Did you stop reading at that point? Did you not see the example provided with the Philip's factory in the Netherlands?
You can force people back to the production line, but what you cant do as a soldier is know if they are doing their job properly. Perhaps, China could ship out a whole bunch of their own engineers to oversee things, but a) they probably dont have any spare to send over (especially those with the exact knowledge needed, not without basically shutting down their existing production facilities), b) they would need to get up to speed on the exact equipment in use at TSMC, which means relying on the Taiwanese people already working there to train them (so can you be sure their being trained properly), c) they cannot know every single corner of the facility that can be f%&ked with by people with a clue and a very good reason to f%&k with production.
The author is absolutely correct in his analysis.
