Samsung already has a fab in the U.S. That's reason to expect different.

I'm not going to say Foxconn was doing business the way Chinese do business, but maybe there's a culture thing there.

Another thing is the type of manufacturing Foxconn does is extremely labor intensive, it's essentially assembly shops. No way paying US wages would be competitive for them. But things like semiconductor manufacturing requires way less people so salary differences are negligible.

Foxconn is a Taiwanese company.

Every HN’er here promotes for the freedom and democracy loving people of Taiwan. They even claim it’s a country.

So get your “country” correct.
