>TSMC chairman and founder Morris Chang, warned last month of higher operating costs and a thin talent pool for the U.S. plans in a rare public speech attended by Wei and chairman Mark Liu.
>"In the United States, the level of professional dedication is no match to that in Taiwan, at least for engineers," Chang said. He warned that "short-term subsidy can't make up for long-term operational disadvantage."
- tibbydudeza 6y agoHB-1 visa's for about 50,000 Taiwanese to staff the new TMSC plant in Arizona - guess how well that is going to play with the GOP.
- SkyMarshal 6y agoIt’s within the realm of possibility that the GOP might make an exception for this, since they’re also concerned about supply chains of defense and security-critical components, and about keeping the US’s lead in semiconductors.
- VWWHFSfQ 6y agoI read the transcripts of his speech. It was more of a pro-Taiwan rally than anything. He's very old and obviously very proud of what he's built. But a lot of what he said made no sense. Especially the parts about Americans being lazy and using an example of being willing to work through-the-night for the good of the company. This was from the 1980s when Apple and Microsoft engineers were literally sleeping under their desks. Again, he's an old guy with a lot of Taiwanese nationalistic pride. It's not much more than that.
