The U.S. military needs chips, and TSMC is desperate to move production as far away from big bad China as humanly possible. 11 billion is chump change compared to having a domestic monopoly on semiconductor production. The real problem is its production takes massive amounts of water, and where they are building the plant is a water-stricken desert. They also treat American engineers like they are all stupid and lazy, not very conducive to a healthy workplace, but when you are the single largest company on a small island nation producing products the whole world needs you dont have to have morals.
