Does TSMC "own" the technology? Because their fabs are wholly dependent on ASML, a Dutch company. And they're using that to produce tech that's designed in the west as well.
- t-3 4y agoRight, only culturally European people know how to do anything. Those Taiwanese are just factory workers, no expertise at all, that's why Intel is in such good shape these days. Chipmaking is obviously so easy the only reason we let them do it is to keep the price down. /s
- Mikeb85 4y agoThey obviously have expertise, the point is that the parent was implying that all the tech involved is exclusively TSMC's, which is also wrong. The parent literally said the US is trying to "steal" TSMC's technology... So maybe read my comment in context instead of implying racism right off the bat SMH.
