When you say it is owned by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi I would be curious to know how this works in terms of geopolitics.
What happens to this national infrastructure in a time of war? If one country places it’s infrastructure inside another’s then in a state of war the Emirate would certainly lose access to their chip fab. They’d want to see no one else can use it either.
Would something like the Global Foundries site somehow rigged to be permanently disabled, maybe even remotely, so as to not let it fall into the host state’s hands?
