> Bear in mind your not competing with the financial resources of just another chip company, you’re competing with the financial resources of the Chinese state.

But you have the resources of the other Chinese state (Taiwan) at your disposal because, TSMC and the Taiwanese semi industry work hand-in-hand with the government as well.

Does Taiwan have 50x to 100x the financial resources of mainland China though, and does it make sense to even get in that competition on those terms on the first place? It’s not a path to a viable business.
