What are the obvious reasons?

    I guess the expensive energy in Germany, lots of red tape and nimbyism, and not enough state subsidies which is what these companies were hoping for when they were fishing for places to open fabs.

      There's also the fact that every single fab opened outside of Taiwan reduces Taiwan's national security.

        Is Taiwan's national security the major concern here? I assumed everyone was just bluffing at that until they can get their own supply.

        Getting dragging in to an East China unification war because you can't squeeze lighting in to rocks on time is a tragedy.
