  1. In the 1980s, the dispute between the United States and Japan was about memory semiconductors, not logic semiconductors produced by TSMC. Memory semiconductors are mass-produced semiconductors with relatively simple technology. Logic semiconductors are custom-made semiconductors commissioned by professional factories according to customer designs and are much more challenging to manufacture than memory semiconductors. As a result, American companies designate TSMC for production not because they're cheap but because TSMC's semiconductors aren't inexpensive and tend to be the most expensive. In addition, U.S. companies entrust TSMC because the U.S. cannot manufacture advanced semiconductors.

  2. 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.

  3.  @DrWHO77  TSMC is a Taiwan company, it has nothing to do with China

  5. The US still has a great contribution to semiconductors, the US is very important to the world, without the top universities in the US, there would be no TSMC today, the US should play its areas of expertise, together with Taiwan's advantages, to create a better future for mankind, instead of just moving the chip manufacturing back to the US, because that will only increase the cost and stifle the pace of technological innovation, wafer manufacturing, The most important thing is the talent, TSMC engineers can create the best chips in the world, is a factor of culture, the United States and Taiwan each play their roles, can create the effect of 1+1>2, Taiwan can not do without the United States, the United States can not do without Taiwan, we are a loyal ally of the United States, has been, is and will be.

  6.  @观点反方  Among the top 100 largest exporters in China, there are 40 Taiwanese companies. China's largest exporter is Foxconn from Taiwan, which exports about US$60 billion annually from China; Taiwanese companies contribute at least half of China's export value. Taiwan's trade surplus with China exceeds US$170 billion, mainly through the sale of chips for China to manufacture products ranging from home appliances to mobile phones and computers. If Taiwan stops selling chips to China, China will collapse immediately, like Huawei if Taiwanese companies withdraw from China. China immediately became a neglectable backward country.

  7. Bs, Taiwan has never had anything to do with China.

  10. When did the Chinese flag ever fly in Taiwan's sky? When did China ever rule Taiwan? It's funny for the Chinese to claim something that is not belong to them

  11.  @tsm4201979  Chips industry is capital-intensive, and labor cost is not an essential factor in this high-tech industry. 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 behind Taiwan by a decade, the US Department of Defense and IBM, still worried about the already fading American technology influx 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.

  13. It's because Taiwanese scientists break through the critical chip technologies. It's not as you imagine.

  14. Because that is unimportant, only Intel exaggerates it for the subsidy. China and tsmc do not use the advanced ASML euv to produce cutting-edge chips.

  17. The secret to AMD and Nvidia's success is that both companies use TSMC's advanced chips to beat their rivals.

  18. Before 1661, no Chinese were on the island of Taiwan, which belonged to the Netherlands in the 17th century. Later, the pirates defeated the Netherlands and occupied Taiwan. The Qing Dynasty then defeated the pirates and ruled Taiwan for a while, but Qing rule was limited to a small area of the western plains of Taiwan. In 1895, Japan defeated the Qing Dynasty and ceded Taiwan to Japan. From the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, Taiwan belonged to Japan. During Japanese rule, Japan sent troops to conquer eastern Taiwan and achieve complete control of the island of Taiwan. For 127 years, Taiwan has never been a province of China, and China has never ruled Taiwan.

  20. Designing chips is much easier. Any chip manufacturing company can design chips better.
