> Because it’s extremely lucrative It could be extremely lucrative if they get it right. Simply trying to copy TSMC would also be a poor strategy. Companies have "core competencies" (or should). The manufacture (not design) of high-end silicon has never been one for any of these companies except Intel, and they have just lost big time. > strategically valuable to the US Yeah, they don't care. | ||

… but the shareholders are global?! That’s not really a compelling argument unless you made it a requirement that all major/strategic companies must have 100% domestic ownership! BUT - all you then need to do is create a Delaware LLC that buys the strategic stock, which is owned by $SCARY_FOREIGNERS | ||
