The deal with Taiwan, which has not yet been finalised, would exacerbate soaring tensions between the US and China.

      I still say that Taiwan has two uses that struggle to coexist, manufacturing and military. Once the manufacturing one becomes defunct, what is left is its military use.

      That TSMC plant is running into trouble on every front, including the inability to find local workers qualified and willing to work there.

      Also the expat Taiwanese engineers are being subjected go racist harassment because of course they are lmao.
