    An update re:

    The US itself is threatening Taiwan with import control measures to force them to send their semiconductor industry to the US, or to at least share the technology with the US while it still can.

    It looks like TSMC has come to an agreement with the US on that score.

    "PHOENIX, Arizona, Dec. 6, 2022 – TSMC (TWSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) today announced that in addition to TSMC Arizona’s first fab, which is scheduled to begin production of N4 process technology in 2024, TSMC has also started the construction of a second fab which is scheduled to begin production of 3nm process technology in 2026. The overall investment for these two fabs will be approximately US$40 billion, representing the largest foreign direct investment in Arizona history and one of the largest foreign direct investments in the history of the United States."
