no they cant. The taiwanese government wouldnt let them buy it. also they cant set up a competitor because the kind of people that can pull this off is limited and they all work for TSMC. The prc government tried this for decades and they have infinite money. there is a good book about it called "hidden dragons paper tigers". Apple is not god :-)
- intev 6y agoApple is not god, but Apple is, more importantly, not the PRC. It would be significantly easier to lure top engineers to America, pay them multiples of what they currently earn and work for a prestigious company. The PRC has only one of the main motivating components.
- spirobel 6y agohave you ever been to Taiwan? I think moving to America from Taiwan is not a perk. Its the opposite of that. Also you can debate if TSMC or Apple is more prestigious.
- dvaun 6y agoI just searched for "hidden dragons paper tigers" and now I want to add it to my reading list. Thank you for the reference!
