My cousin is a TSMC engineer in Taiwan. He’s not interested in becoming a refugee. But ok, I’ll play along. 1 fab needs $20B and 5 years to build and America needs 50 of them to be self sufficient. So, about 15-20 years. Since we don’t have enough construction labor

台湾という国の成り立ちを考えると、国としての存在すら国際社会で認めてもらうことすら難しい中でスポーツの国際大会でタイトルを獲得することの意義って日本なんかの比じゃないんだろうな。台湾の選手たちの涙を見て背負っているものの大きさを感じた。おめでとう台湾🇹🇼
