Cultural influence
The island is the focal point of the novel Rockbound.[3]
In the summer of 1945 Jack L. Gray boarded with the Young family on the island and made many sketches of island life which subsequently were turned into large paintings.
Part of the film Deeply was filmed on East Ironbound.

Invading could physically damage it in hard to fix ways, and would probably lead to the loss of most of the people working on it and their knowledge; even ignoring this, it relies on materials from elsewhere which could be cut off. Basically everyone needs the chips produced by TSMC, and if they just stopped existing so would... roughly all consumer electronics for several years.)

gollark: I don't think they can actually militarily do anything to Taiwan without imploding the entire world economy for several years.
