  1. Before 2004, the United States led the world in semiconductor technology, and foundries had to pay IBM's technology license fees. But in 2004, TSMC took the lead in developing 0.13-micron copper process technology ahead of IBM, ushering in the era of Taiwan's semiconductor technology leading the world. In 2014, IBM withdrew from the foundry business, and TSMC considered buying IBM's fab in New York State. However, even though IBM's technology has lagged Taiwan by a decade, the US Department of Defense and IBM, still worried about the influx of already lagging American technology into Taiwan, rejected the deal. High-tech semiconductor technology is the result of Taiwan's efforts to develop, and now the United States claims to "bring back" semiconductor production to the United States.

  2.  @davidwong5197  China supplies 70% of the raw silicon? Ridiculous!!! Quartz sand for making wafers is imported from the United States, China does not have high-quality quartz sand, and China only has low-quality sand for construction., Taiwan outsources chip packaging to a Malaysian factory. This is the lowest-end job, and it is not cost-effective to perform packaging in Taiwan. You know nothing about chips.
