Gee, I wonder why other countries would not want to move production to the US after ICE arrested the Koreans who were doing exactly that?
No way to know, I guess.
Especially when the only thing keeping you protected from invasion is that only your country has those production facilities.
It's quite interesting that no other country has managed to build a chip foundry that would even remotely rival TSMC.
Especially considering they use third-party lithography machines.
taiwan has all the engineers, technician specialists. much like hyundai had all thier engineers come to the us to get every techical thing set up.
And probably it is also the only thing that China wants so that can try to corner the market. But if they move half of the production oversea then they probably will become less appetible for China since they cannot really control the production.
Not that they must do it, just a consideration.
