Sooner or later TSMC will build next-gen R&D facilities and fabs. Shareholders will be able to vote for the new locations.

Shareholders of such things are sometimes proxies for the true powers hidden behind. Money is not a democracy. There are national interests at stake here, and then I'm not talking about Taiwan's national interest.
Shareholders typically don't vote on things like that directly, but they can vote for Directors who usually have the power to fire/hire CEO's who then make decisions like new locations.
