    Yeah cool, let’s keep depending on other countries for stuff our whole economies are based on.

      I mean, EU did pass the ECA, “problem” with the EU is you are not as free to abuse your workforce as in Asia and in the USA, so the cost of labor is higher.

        You’re not abusing extremely high skill workers who can easily get a new job elsewhere. Not if you want high profit margins.

            In the context of Asian work environments, it’s par for the course and much higher paid than the alternatives. Since the workers don’t consider it abuse, it gets accepted.

            TSMC is an exceptionally high paying job in Taiwan and they can’t go anywhere else.

      Aren’t the very photolithography machines that all the chip manufacturers use to make their chips all made by like one EU company or something?
