Im rooting for Intel. I hate the current paradigm where all the best chips are made in one factory in Asia.

IMO it's competition that makes better products in the end. If either party becomes a full monopolist the progress will stall (as already happened with Intel I guess)

In which sense? Intel is neither a full monopolist (AMD, ARM) nor has progress stalled (we're still getting a regular cycle of new generation CPUs which improve on the previous).

Tsmc are opening 10 factories in USA at cost of $265bn

Intel staying strong is still vital for competitiveness though

Until they are built, it's all talk.

Intel didn't do much to improve their CPUs while AMD was out of the competition with the Bulldozer disaster.

TSMC also AFAIK is forbidden from setting up bleeding-edge fabs outside of Taiwan?

Four more 2nm (or below) fabs in Arizona. That's bleeding-edge or very close to it.
