As part of the the recently concluded trade arrangement between the U.S. and Taiwan, Taiwanese companies, including TSMC, will invest $250 billion in the U.S. in exchange for exemptions from potential chip tariffs, Financial Times reports. However, limited disclosure around the terms of this commitment has introduced major uncertainties regarding TSMC's future capital spending, manufacturing allocation, and long-term strategy. Meanwhile, a market rumor suggests that TSMC may invest an additional $100 billion in its U.S. facilities, bringing its total investment commitments to $265 billion and making the company one of the biggest ever investors in America.

Only fools invest in China now. Oh, and what's the real population number of China now? How many died during the Covid lockdown years? Just like Chernobyl, the truth can only surface when the communist regime collapses.
