>1. Labour-wise probably 3-4 times the Taiwan, but labour cost of fabs is microscopic in comparison to everything else.

Building a fab requires labor, a lot of it.

There are only 2-3 construction companies globally who build factories as complex as modern semi fabs.

Imagine, where they get their workers? They import them all from their home countries.

What are their home countries? Sorry I could do my own research, but since you made a comment that implied you had a piece of information at hand, I feel I may just get it easier this way.

Exyte (Germany) was a big one. I myself haven't been up to date with news in the industry for around 10 years since I abandoned all attempts to enter the industry.
