I guess you forgot to talk about intel…hokiewolf said:no, Texas Instruments decided calculators were the wave of the future and let Morris Chang go, then he created TSMC and their foundry process.caryking said:Hokie, this country is spending tons of money building chip manufacturing plants. The only reason that's happening is the recognition of the security threat we have, especially with China threatening Taiwan. So, how did we get to Taiwan being the major player in Chip manufacturing? As will everything else, globalist decided it was the right thing to do…hokiewolf said:

He bet on himself because he had zero stake in the company originally, it was 50% owned by the Taiwanese govt and the other 50% by other Taiwanese businesses. He then took his meager $150k salary, bought shares in the company and turned into a billionaire.
So no, globalist had zero to do with it. Morris Chang had 100% to do with it because he invented a new way of doing things.
We used to admire stuff like that, but now for some reason it's not anymore.
The CHIPS act invested heavily in Intel, Trump is now going to double down on that idiocy.
TSMC will never bring the newest technology to the US. Everyone thinks it's great they're brining 5nm production potentially to Arizona, but they've already gone to 3nm production in Taiwan.
Tariffs aren't going to fix that either.
