My dad said America is trying to steal TSMC!
Did not watch the video but know about the new giga factories they are planning.
IMO this is not stealing, this is common business sense.
You will not build a house on a vulcano that might erupt any day from now.
You build it were it is safe.
Same here, Taiwan and China are in conflict which might escalate. Europe, US and others depend for their products on the chips from TMSC.
So why not help them build factories where it is relative safe ?
But the US has been importing scientific knowledge for decades. I had hoped they would have stepped up their own education more so there would be more local uni graduates but somehow it is a question of numbers.
When there are 100000 university graduates in India to pick from........
Anyway, I think this is good for the western world at least that the suplly of electronic components will be spread across the globe instead of focussed in one region that has chance of conflict.
