If you know anything about the geopolitics behind this, this was a forced move which TSMC wouldn't have otherwise done. If TSMC didn't do it, then US State Department would have funded Intel to produce their 5nm fabs here.

So yeah, educate yourself and then behave reasonably.

I know. Where in my comment did I say otherwise?

Okay, thanks?

Did you by any chance respond to the wrong comment? Such bizarre comments in this thread.

It's rampant nationalism all up and down this thread. Facts be damned.

What are the facts? That TSMC willingly and strategically made this move? The writing was on the wall on this one.

What, exactly, is your own understanding of reasonable behaviour?
