    Also because we dont have the construction experience of building FAB’s, and we have different building regulation and standards.

    25% tariffs on steel also wont make it any cheaper.

      Yes, and with all that combined twice as expensive and twice longer is kinda fine. Provided it will function.

      EDIT: Except if ever TSMC Taiwan foundries’ monopoly is no more, this means loss of a very specific kind of shield of Taiwan’s de facto independence, which may cause a lot of interesting developments.
