>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."

It’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.
