TSM has found few American workers willing to work as hard as Taiwan's, so likely no great loss for them.

So much for TSMC’s Arizona expansion and Intel’s foundry plans.

TSM has found few American workers willing to work as hard as Taiwan's, so likely no great loss for them.

Will not be great when China invades Taiwan and global supply of TSMC output evaporates as TSMC destroys the fabs to prevent takeover.

> Earlier this year, he said: "Disabling or destroying TSMC is table stakes if China is taking over Taiwan. Would we be so insane as to allow the world's key semiconductor company [to] fall untouched into the hands of an aggressive PRC? Taiwanese should realize that would be the least of their problems."

> Earlier this year, the US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo told the House Appropriations Committee that a hypothetical Chinese invasion of Taiwan and seizure of TSMC would be “absolutely devastating” for the United States.

> She said that “the United States buys 92 percent of its leading edge chips from TSMC in Taiwan,” meaning any disruption to that supply chain would have a significant impact on the US economy

Taiwan is not China. It has been colonized by many Asian cultures over the century.
