The world's largest chipmaker promised to create thousands of US jobs. There are growing tensions over whether US workers have the skills or work ethic to do them.::Jobs at the TSMC semiconductor factory in Arizona could require long hours and total obedience. Americans may push back on the company's culture.

The comment in this thread are a good summary of why TSMC has concerns. I fully support workers rights of course. But from TSMC's perspective, WHY would they want to put up with all our 'crap' when they can continue operating in Taiwan with their standard practices?

Because America isn't an island that's a stones throw away from the world's second largest superpower which has made it abundantly clear that they believe belongs to them?

And TSMC will be renamed to SMIC overnight.

Fair point however I would rather have chip dependance than exploitation
