I wonder if this will lead to them losing their edge and lead in manufacturing state of the art chips to the various American manufacturers. Also, did they take this initiative themselves, goaded into it, or even coerced? I recall reading recently how the US started making demands to foreign semi manufacturers to get details of manufacturing processes, supply chains, customer bases etc. Investments like these will overwhelmingly favor the US in the long run.

From an American POV: who cares? The country's citizens have terrible health care, no real safety net, rising inflation forcing people to eat more and more processed junk, half the population has collapsed (negative growth, drugged up with painkillers etc.) and a cause of this is spending a notable chunk of the national budget on the military which defends places like Taiwan instead of solutions that improve the problems above. If America says "JUMP" TSMC says how high.
