    Especially when the only thing keeping you protected from invasion is that only your country has those production facilities.

      And probably it is also the only thing that China wants so that can try to corner the market. But if they move half of the production oversea then they probably will become less appetible for China since they cannot really control the production.
      Not that they must do it, just a consideration.

      It’s quite interesting that no other country has managed to build a chip foundry that would even remotely rival TSMC.

      Especially considering they use third-party lithography machines.

        I don’t think the foundries are the limiting factor. There’s a shit ton of engineering going into every step of the fab process and most of those experts are in Taiwan.
